Prenatal examinations

The Hospital Authority prenatal screening for Down Syndrome only accepts local expectant mothers who have made a delivery booking with the Prince of Wales Hospital. Proof of residential address issued within the past 6 months, such as water or electricity bill, is required for appointment booking. In order to ensure the screening test is performed at the optimal gestation, any woman who has irregular menstrual cycle or is unsure about the date of the last menstrual period is advised to go to private sector for dating scan first. If the expected date of delivery by ultrasound is different from that of the last menstrual period for more than 7 days, please attend the O&G counter to change your appointment as soon as possible. If the gestation is not suitable on the date of appointment, the screening test could not be performed. Due to limited quota, no further appointment will be rearranged. For enquiries, please call our voice mail at 3505 2470.
