For couples considering marriage, pre-marital
screening helps identify potential health problems
and risks for themselves and also their offspring.
Couples in a consanguineous marriage run the risk
of having children with genetic birth defects
such as Down’s syndrome,
as such, it is vital for these couples to be screened
in order to aid them to understand their genetics
and help them take the necessary precautions or
treatments.
Eastern Biotech & Life Sciences is offering
Pre marital Screening and Pre marital Counselling
for the people of the UAE and the Middle East.
A simple Pre-Marital screening test for you and
your partner will give you the piece of mind you
deserve for your children's health.
Importance of Pre-marital screening
Even if you or your partner have never had any
health problems in the past, you may be a silent
carrier of infectious or hereditary disease, which,
if expressed, could affect your children once
you choose to conceive.
Pre-marital screening enables an individual
to
- Screen hereditary conditions that
may effect the future offspring | e.g. Thalassemia
- Rule out of carrier status for genetic disorders
- Detect infectious diseases e.g.
HIV and Hepatitis B infection
- Assess the reproductive health status
- Screen for fertility problems.
