PRE-MARITAL SCREENING

Pre-marital screening is a comprehensive group of test for those who are planning to get married. Most individuals are not fully aware of the exact condition of their health, a person may look healthy, but he/she may have undetected health problems, or be a silent carrier of infectious or hereditary diseases.

For couples considering marriage, pre-marital screening helps identify potential health problems and risks for themselves and also their offspring. Couples in a consanguineous marriage run the risk of having children with genetic birth defects such as Down’s syndrome and Thallasemia, as such, it is vital for these couples to be screened in order to aid them to understand their genetics and help them take the necessary precautions or treatments.

Conducted by a team of all female clinicians at PCMC, screening is done in an exclusive environment which affords both comfort and privacy. You will receive a personalised medical report on the same day. Our clinicians will help you understand your results as well as answer any questions or concerns that you may have
