MOH reference on prenatal screening discussions
Official MOH reference for a voluntary conversation about prenatal Down syndrome screening.
What this resource offers
This MOH technical assessment explains issues around maternal screening for fetal abnormality, including Down syndrome. It is useful for preparing questions about the difference between screening and further evaluation, but it does not state which services are currently offered. Start by discussing your own pregnancy with the antenatal team or a genetics professional, and ask what counselling is available. Confirm current tests, timing and clinical advice directly.
Helpful questions for your next conversation
- Is this a screening test or a diagnostic test, and what can it tell us?
- Who can provide non-directive counselling before and after testing?
This summarises published information. Confirm eligibility, fees and availability directly; this listing is not an ALBE endorsement or partnership.
Every person’s needs and journey are different. Use this information to support a conversation with a qualified professional, not as a substitute for personalized advice.
