Prenatal screening and diagnostic tests include First Trimester Screening/Combined Test, non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), invasive (diagnostic) tests and ultrasound screening for fetal anomalies in the second trimester. Whether and in what form these tests are offered and financed to pregnant women varies considerably between countries. This policy brief provides an overview of country strategies for integrating the tests into antenatal care and their (public) financing in 6 selected European countries (DE, CH, NL, UK, NO, IT).
