Post-NIPT Support – The Missing Piece in Prenatal Screening Practice

In the modern medical picture, NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) is considered one of the advances in genetic medicine, helping to detect early chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus through only the mother's blood sample.

This method is not only accurate and safe, but also opens up opportunities to protect the health of future generations right from the fetal stage.

However, in reality, genetic screening is just the beginning. When the results show a high risk, pregnant women need to enter the in-depth diagnostic stage - a process that requires high costs, high expertise and close coordination between medical facilities. Many pregnant women fall into a state of anxiety, confusion, delay diagnosis, and even make wrong decisions about their pregnancy due to financial burden or lack of medical information. It is from this gap that post-NIPT testing support programs were born - not only to "beautify" the service but also to fill the gaps in safety in current obstetric practices.

NIPT Support Program – A Step From Technology to Humanity

At the 2025 Vietnam-France Obstetrics and Gynecology Conference, experts discussed solutions to improve the effectiveness of post-test support programs - a topic that is receiving much attention in the field of prenatal screening.

Considered a program that brings "dual value", this support model not only brings practical benefits to pregnant women, but also supports the team of obstetricians in their professional work. For pregnant women, the program helps reduce financial burden by supporting the costs of performing invasive procedures such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, and confirmatory diagnostic tests or re-screening, helping pregnant mothers access necessary medical services in a timely manner. At the same time, it increases safety and accuracy when each screening result is verified through a scientific consultation and diagnosis process, ensuring peace of mind for mothers at each stage of pregnancy.

In addition, the program also strengthens the connection of the health system, closely linking testing units, maternity hospitals and treating doctors so that pregnant women are not "abandoned" in the screening - consultation - treatment chain. From a professional perspective, obstetricians also benefit from having a reliable data source, supporting the provision of appropriate and timely treatment and consultation for each patient. These values ​​​​not only contribute to improving the quality of screening but also clearly demonstrate the shift of modern genetic medicine - from "just testing" to "comprehensive care" for both pregnant mothers and doctors.

triSure Care – A pioneering comprehensive support model in Vietnam

Among the current support programs, Gene Solutions' triSure Care is considered one of the pioneering and systematic models. In case a pregnant woman takes Gene Solutions' triSure NIPT test and receives high-risk results, the program not only supports up to 9 million VND for the cost of amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, but also provides free CNVSure genetic diagnostic testing worth 4.5 million VND or a 4.5 million VND discount when upgrading to more comprehensive diagnostic tests such as G4500, WES, WGS. In addition, the program also extends benefits to pregnant women with negative NIPT results but ultrasound detects abnormalities, with support for G4500/CNVSure diagnostic testing worth 8.5 million VND.

With the triSure Procare comprehensive screening package, the support program is expanded further, providing complete diagnostic value for the whole family: When the mother is found to carry a recessive gene, the program offers free recessive gene testing for the father to determine the genetic risk. If both parents carry the abnormal gene, the fetus will receive free diagnostic testing to detect the disease early, helping to intervene and treat promptly to improve the chance of survival and development after birth.

In particular, triSure Procare is a screening test for many dominant monogenic diseases. In case of detecting abnormalities, the program supports free testing for the father to determine whether the cause is a new gene mutation (de novo) or not.

Along with that, the program connects pregnant women to obstetric hospitals so that pregnant women can go to these hospitals for support when having pregnancy problems, helping to ensure that all high-risk cases have access to specialized diagnosis and timely intervention.

When genetic medicine not only saves lives – but also fosters peace of mind

It can be said that the birth of NIPT support programs shows the maturity of the Vietnamese medical genetics industry – where technology is associated with social responsibility. Because in the journey of motherhood, there are things more precious than gold – the peace of mind knowing that your child is growing up healthy every day, with full protection from triSure Care and Vietnamese genetic medicine.
