The High-Risk Pregnancy Unit is an integral part of hospitals that cater to pregnancies designated as high-risk. This specialized unit is meticulously designed to supervise and manage the health of both the mother and the fetus(es) in situations where the risk of complications is elevated due to maternal, fetal, or obstetric factors. It is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals that includes obstetricians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists (perinatologists), neonatologists, nurses, and various support staff, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care. The care provided is highly individualized, addressing the unique challenges and needs of each pregnancy, thereby enhancing the safety and health outcomes for the mother and the developing fetus(es).
