MULTIPLE PREGNANCY
Learning that they are going to have twins is usually a pleasant surprise for parents, but often tinged with anxiety about the risk of complications. Multiple pregnancies require additional care and attention, and sometimes intervention, from healthcare professionals.
This course will provide practical advice on how to diagnose and manage complications in twin and multiple pregnancies. Speakers will summarize and update the current knowledge, highlighting the evidence behind the most recent recommendations from international guidelines.
Join us to improve your skills and knowledge on twins!
