Setting
This pilot project was part of a Public-Private healthcare partnership
between Delhi government (study hospital) and a corporate hospital
(providing specialist fetal medicine sonographers). Data were
prospectively collected between September 2017 and September 2019 at a
100-bed government secondary care hospital conducting approximately 6100
deliveries per year. This hospital caters to lower socio-economic
population and has emergency obstetric services available at all times,
a Blood Bank, and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).High risk
pregnancies are referred early to tertiary hospitals for antenatal care
or anticipated very small fetuses < 1000g are in-utero
transferred to a tertiary hospital.
