Nine tests, one visit, ₹1,799 against the ₹2,400 listed price — a saving of ₹601. This is the panel the hospital prints on its own flyer for a routine pregnancy check-up, and the list below is that list, with what each line is looking for.

- Mother and babyThe lines chosen for a pregnancy, not a general panel.
What each line looks for
- CBC — the complete blood count. Anaemia and infection are the two commonest findings at a first antenatal visit, and both change what the next month looks like.
- ABORh — blood group and Rhesus type. An Rh-negative mother needs a specific injection at a specific point in the pregnancy, and the hospital needs to know before, not during.
- RBS — random blood sugar, the screening point for gestational diabetes.
- HbA1c — the average sugar across the last three months, which is how a doctor tells a diabetes that came with the pregnancy from one that was already there.
- TSH — thyroid. An underactive thyroid in pregnancy is a common, treatable and easily missed cause of harm.
- Urine R/M — the routine urine examination: protein, sugar and infection.
- HIV, HBsAg (hepatitis B) and HCV (hepatitis C) — these three are not optional extras on an antenatal panel. Each can pass to the baby, and each has a protocol that changes the outcome for the child.
The package is a laboratory panel. It does not include the ultrasound, the anomaly scan or the obstetric consultation, and those are priced separately — the scans are listed on the imaging department page, and the desk will quote the whole antenatal schedule rather than this one visit.
How to use it
- No fasting. The sugar test in this panel is the random one (RBS), so come at any time of the day. If the doctor adds a fasting lipid profile afterwards, that is a different instruction and the desk will give it to you then.
- Any stage of the pregnancy, though the panel is most useful at the booking visit — the group and Rh type and the infection screen are the lines that alter the plan.
- Bring the file. If you have had any of these done already, the earlier report is worth more than a repeat, and the desk can tell you which lines can be skipped.
- Ask for the reports the same day where the lab can give them. A result that arrives after the consultation is a result that gets read at the next one.
Questions patients ask before booking
No. This is the blood-and-urine panel. The consultation, the measurements and the scans that go with an antenatal visit are booked through obstetrics and gynaecology, and most women need both — the package is simply the part that is cheapest done together.
The panel is put together for a pregnant woman: the group-and-Rh line, the infection screen and the sugar lines are read against a pregnancy. Someone who is not pregnant asking for the same nine tests is usually better served by a general panel priced differently — ask the desk.
No. The ₹1,799 is already the discounted price against a ₹2,400 list, and the card’s own terms say its discounts cannot be combined with other offers. The card is worth having alongside it for everything outside the package — the consultations, the scans and the medicines. See the RR Health Card.
Where this fits
The tests are processed in the hospital’s own laboratory, which is why a sample given in the morning can be read in the same visit. If a result is abnormal, the medicine and obstetric teams are on the same campus, and cashless settlement covers some of what follows a diagnosis for GIC-empanelled and private-insurance patients — the package itself is a discounted cash price.
