The Japanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology approved a guideline that allows newborn prenatal tests to be carried out at small clinics to check for chromosomal abnormalities in prenatal babies, while a specialist in bioethics. Houses and other parties held a press conference on the 24th and appealed for the improvement of consultation and support system for pregnant women who are to be examined.
The new prenatal test is a test that examines the blood of a pregnant woman to determine if the fetus has three chromosomal abnormalities, and a facility that can provide sufficient counseling will be certified, but the Japan Obstetrics and Gynecology Association this month. On the 20th, we agreed with the Japanese Society of Pediatrics and approved the partially revised guideline so that it can be implemented in small clinics.
In response to this, a group made up of specialists in bioethics held a press conference to appeal to pregnant women to be examined and to improve their support system.
In order to improve the quality of counseling for those who undergo tests, the group and the relevant academic societies will enhance the training for medical personnel, and whether to give birth if the test shows that there is an abnormality. In making the decision, we make recommendations that require better care.
Professor Azumi Tsuge of Meiji Gakuin University at the press conference said, "We need to listen to the voices of women with various feelings and create a support system after consultation and examination." ..
