Summary
The World Health Organization (WHO)’s Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health is to promote equality in access to care by providing adapted screening, diagnosis and care strategies based on the rights to physical and mental health and well-being. Even in the fetal period, prenatal diagnosis and recent fetal therapies aim to investigate and treat the fetus as it would be in postnatal life, and face issues of equitable access and feasibility, particularly in low-income countries.
