Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the skin, joints, kidneys and other organs.

 Women with SLE have a higher risk of miscarriage, and those with badly affected kidneys also face at an increased risk high blood pressure during pregnancy. Those with mild or a well-controlled condition at the beginning of pregnancy usually do not experience any problems throughout the pregnancy period. These patients are co-managed by an Obstetrician, alongside a Rheumatologist, with special interest in High-Risk Pregnancy.

 Birth Defects Clinic

One in 30 babies suffer from a birth defect that can occur at the beginning of or during the pregnancy. A birth defect may affect the baby's appearance (e.g., cleft lip), bodily functions (e.g., cystic fibrosis in the lungs or blood thalassaemia), or both.

We have brought together clinicians from diverse disciplines, including obstetricians, geneticists, paediatricians and surgeons, to operate a Birth Defects clinic dedicated to the care of unborn babies with birth defect diagnosed by ultrasound.
