Referral can be made to any of the referral team members or the Co-ordinators. Generally, evaluation of the case will be performed by the Fetal Medicine Specialist (along with the referring consultant, if any). The relevant Specialty Consultants would be involved as the case demands and an appropriate plan of action made, after multidisciplinary counselling. The plan would be discussed with the Consultant primarily in charge of the patients care. The place of delivery may continue to be with the local Consultant or may have to be at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, depending on the case. It would be envisaged that most cases will not need to be transferred before delivery. The timing of the neonatal evaluation, surgery, NICU care, etc., will be determined as per the individual case.
