Even in families with healthy children, birth abnormalities or abnormal fetal states are a persistent source of worry for parents. In Vietnam, there are more than 41,000 infants born every year with birth defects, of which 20,000 can be identified via ultrasound as having serious problems, or one infant every 30 minutes. Birth defects or abnormal fetal status can occur in healthy pregnant women without any family history of pregnancy as well. Many healthy pregnant women discover that their fetus is abnormal when they visit the doctor.
With the advancement of modern medicine, doctors are now able to identify many problematic pregnancies at an extremely early stage, including those with twins, pleural effusions, cardiovascular abnormalities, etc. More crucially, fetal medicine can "rescue" the child even before it leaves the womb by using ultrasonography and early therapies to lower the chance of fetal abnormalities leading to mortality. Because the Department of Fetal Medicine at Vinmec uses the most cutting-edge techniques available, thousands of newborns have been treated and delivered healthy.
