The Utilisation of Genetic Counselling Services Amongst Prenatal Healthcare Providers in Gauteng, South Africa

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the utilization and perceptions of genetic counselling services among prenatal healthcare providers in Gauteng, South Africa. Their findings indicate that while a majority of providers can refer patients for genetic counselling, actual utilization is low, with significant gaps in knowledge regarding referral indications and the role of genetic counsellors. The study highlights the need for improved education and clearer referral guidelines to enhance access to genetic counselling services in the region.
