Telephone: 020-89169866 or 89169886 Address: International Medical Center (Building 10), 15th Floor Department Introduction Introduction to the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province The Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province obtained authorization to provide prenatal diagnosis in Guangdong Province in 2018 and has gradually developed a model in which the Prenatal Diagnosis Center is the leading force, with comprehensive assistance from the Department of Obstetrics, Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Department of Pathology, and others. Based on the advanced concepts that “the fetus is also a person” and “a diseased fetus is also a patient,” our center is committed to making assessments of problems in developing fetuses as promptly and accurately as possible. Through serum screening, ultrasound, and invasive prenatal diagnosis, it assesses the fetal blood flow, structure, genetic status, and infection status in utero, performs intrauterine interventions and fetoscopic treatments for fetal diseases, among other measures, and strives to ensure the healthy development of fetuses to the greatest extent possible and reduce the occurrence of birth defects, thereby alleviating the emotional harm and economic burden that congenital abnormalities bring to the families of affected children and society.
