TORCH Screening Check-Up Package

TORCH Screening is a laboratory test used to detect viral infections that can cause abnormalities in a developing fetus. This test is conducted on pregnant women to identify infections in the early trimesters of pregnancy that could jeopardize the fetus's health, allowing for early preventive measures.

TORCH is an acronym that stands for Toxoplasma, Other, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes Simplex Virus. The TORCH Screening at the hospital includes a blood test to measure the antibodies produced by the body against TORCH viruses. The test results provide information about ongoing or past infections in the pregnant woman's body, ensuring that necessary actions are taken to prevent complications in the fetus.
