Prenatal Testing at Ginemedica – Private and Covered by the National Health Fund
At the Ginemedica Medical Center in Wrocław, we offer comprehensive prenatal diagnostics – both private prenatal testing and tests covered by the National Health Fund’s Prenatal Testing Program. Our goal is to provide expectant mothers with access to modern, safe, and reliable methods for assessing their child’s health from the first weeks of pregnancy.
Range of non-invasive and invasive tests
Non-invasive tests:
- Maternal blood biochemical tests – PAPP-A protein and B-HCG
- First-trimester ultrasound (genetic) between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy
- Second-trimester ultrasound (mid-term) between 18 and 22 weeks of pregnancy
- Third-trimester ultrasound between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Fetal DNA genetic testing (NIPT)
Invasive tests (performed only when further fetal diagnostics are necessary):
- Amniocentesis
- Chorionic villus sampling
National Health Fund (NFZ) Prenatal Testing Program
The Ginemedica Medical Center has a contract with the National Health Fund (NFZ) to implement the Prenatal Testing Program.

FAQ
When to perform I/II/III trimester prenatal testing?
Prenatal ultrasound examinations are performed at precisely defined weeks of gestation:
I trimester 11+0 to 13+6 weeks of gestation
II trimester 18+0 to 22+6 weeks of gestation
III trimester 28+0 to 32+6 weeks of gestation
This has to do with the development of the various systems in the baby. The doctor takes detailed measurements of the baby to check that he or she is developing properly and that there is no cause for concern. These examinations are carried out by doctors specially trained for this purpose and certified by the FMF (Fetal Medicine Foundation).
What is included in the Prenatal Screening Programme?
As part of the programme, we offer you biochemical tests (PAPP-A and B-HCG), first trimester ultrasound, midterm ultrasound, amniocentesis or chorionic villus biopsy.
Can prenatal blood tests be performed?
Of course! It is professionally referred to as free fetal DNA testing in the mother’s blood. Where does the baby’s DNA come from in your blood? From the cells of the placenta! The placenta is shared by both mother and baby. Approximately 10% of the genetic material in the blood is that of the baby. This allows analyses to be carried out to determine the risk of genetic defects in the baby.
This test is completely safe for the foetus. A blood sample is taken from the mother, in the same way as for other diagnostic tests, such as a blood count.
Tests available include Nifty-pro, Panorama and Sanco.
How effective is the Nifty and Panorama test?
Harmony and Nifty tests are extremely effective diagnostic tools. Prenatal tests of this type detect more than 99 % of fetal trisomy cases, with a false-positive rate of only 0.1 %. Other screening tests, such as serum tests and ultrasound, are also non-invasive tests, but have false-positive rates of up to 5 % and failure rates of up to 30 % for cases of chromosome 21 trisomy. On the basis of such tests, the presence of fetal trisomy can be falsely indicated when the result is actually negative (false positive) or, conversely, the tests can falsely indicate a negative test result for fetal trisomy when it is actually positive (false negative). Diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus biopsy (CVS) have a very high sensitivity for detecting fetal trisomy, but they are nonetheless invasive tests and may risk fetal loss.
What information can the Nifty and Panorama prenatal test provide me and my doctor with?
The Nifty, Harmony and Panorama prenatal tests determine the risk of so-called trisomies in the foetus, based on a measurement of the relative number of chromosomes in the mother’s blood. The test assesses the risk of fetal trisomies 21, 18 and 13 (explained below), but does not exclude all abnormalities.
Trisomy 21 causes Down syndrome, which is associated with mild to moderate mental retardation and can also lead to digestive problems and congenital heart defects. Down syndrome is estimated to occur in 1 in 740 births.
Trisomy 18 is caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 18. The disorder is responsible for Edwards syndrome and is associated with a high risk of miscarriage. Infants born with Edwards syndrome may have a variety of medical conditions and a limited, shortened life expectancy. Edwards syndrome is estimated to occur in 1 in 5,000 births.
Trisomy 13 is caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13. This disorder is responsible for Patau syndrome, which is associated with a high risk of miscarriage.
What should I do if my NIFTY result is abnormal (high risk)?
A positive (abnormal) NIFTY Pro test result means that the test has revealed an increased risk of developing one of the genetic conditions included in the test panel. It should be emphasized that this result is not a definitive diagnosis, but rather an important signal for further diagnostic testing.
Patients who receive a high-risk result after the NIFTY test are entitled to a free genetic consultation and the option of invasive diagnostic testing (e.g., amniocentesis) as part of the paid test. Detailed information will be provided to the patient by the midwife providing the test results and by the physician ordering the test during the obstetric consultation.
What is an amniocentesis? When should I have it?
Amniocentesis is an invasive prenatal test. The doctor punctures the abdomen to take a sample of the amniotic fluid containing the baby. Why? The baby’s skin peels, just like our skin. The amniotic fluid contains thousands of the baby’s epidermal cells, which contain only the baby’s genetic material. This makes it possible to carry out a genetic test to determine the karyotype. Current technology allows us not only to check the number of chromosomes (correctly 46,XY or 46,XX), but also their structure. In other words, amniocentesis makes it possible to determine the presence of genetic defects in the foetus.
The indication for amniocentesis is primarily an abnormal first trimester ultrasound or a high risk of genetic defects as determined by tests of free fetal DNA in the mother’s blood.
