Why Rh Awareness Matters?

Rhesus-related disease can occur when a mother is Rh-negative and her baby is Rh-positive. If this condition is not identified and managed early, it may lead to serious conditions such as Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN). Many mothers are unaware of their Rh status or are unable to access timely testing and treatment. As a result, pregnancy complications linked to Rh incompatibility continue to affect thousands of babies each year.
