Fernandez Hospital was the first in Hyderabad to provide in-house tests for both the mother and the fetus when it opened its Fetal Medicine Unit (FMU) in October, 1998. To improve the quality of ultrasound scanning, FH acquired a Colour Doppler for blood flow studies and fetal echo-cardiography in 1992. In 2004, 2 Volusons, the latest 4D high resolution ultrasound equipment was added in the process of upgrading the department further. As a part of Continuing Medical Education, FMU has introduced a new course, Basic Course on Obstetrics and Gynaecological Ultrasound. This course is meticulously planned and structured with lectures, interactive sessions, and hands-on experience, and it is being conducted throughout the year.
