Abstract
Diagnosis and management of a silent, non-complaining patient who may be threatened by a serious condition, is the essence of foetal medicine. Unlike other medical specialties, health, and wellbeing of 2 persons, the mother and the foetus, affects clinical outcomes of the patient. The patient cannot be directly examined or seen, making foetal medicine a unique subspeciality.
