HOW TO DEAL HIGH RISK PREGNANCY
A pregnancy is considered to be at high risk when there are potential complications that may affect the health and well-being of the mother, child, or both. At Altec Hospital, we have a dedicated team of the best gynecologists in Amritsar who work closely with physicians of other specialties to help ensure the best results for mother and child.
