Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia are important causes of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality especially in the developing world where early identification of such insults still remain a challenge either by the vast population of pregnant women not seeking proper antenatal care or poor facilities in terms of both human capital and technological back-up. Adequate knowledge on prenatal diagnosis and ultrasound-guided focused care as relates to IUGR is by far deficient in the Sub-Saharan Africa and hence responsible for almost nil data from these regions when it comes to Doppler Velocimetry studies. There is therefore the urgent need for sub-specialisation in the area of fetal medicine and funding the Teaching Hospitals to be proper equipped to run these services in order to improve the perinatal outcomes.
