First successful multiple pregnancy fetal reduction performed in Jammu division

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, July 7: Jammu region’s first multiple pregnancy fetal reduction procedure-a sophisticated and delicate intervention that was previously unavailable within the local healthcare system, was performed successfully at Dr Rounaq’s Fetal Medicine & Genetic Clinic, Gandhi Nagar, Jammu.
Fetal reduction is a highly specialized procedure performed in cases of high-order multiple gestations to enhance pregnancy outcomes. It significantly reduces the risk of complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and health concerns for both mother and child. Until now, patients from Jammu had to travel to larger metropolitan cities to access this critical care. With this pioneering effort, such advanced interventions are now available locally for the first time.
“This achievement is not just about performing a procedure, but about ensuring that mothers in Jammu have access to the highest level of care without the stress and risks of long-distance travel,” said Dr Rounaq Mishra, adding, “It’s a step towards making our region self-reliant in advanced fetal and genetic healthcare.”
The successful completion of this procedure is a transformative moment for maternal and fetal healthcare in the region. It is expected to bring immense relief to families dealing with complex high-risk pregnancies by offering them state-of-the-art care close to home.
Dr Rounaq’s Fetal Medicine and Genetic Clinic, already known for its excellence in procedures such as amniocentesis, chorionic villous sampling, and amnioinfusion, is now being recognized as a regional pioneer in advanced fetal care. The Clinic’s growing reputation underscores the expanding scope of high-end medical services now accessible in Jammu.
As the region’s medical infrastructure continues to evolve, achievements like this signal a promising future for in-house expertise and advanced maternal-fetal healthcare, reducing the need for patients to seek such care outside the Union Territory.
