“…Subsequent amendments made essential the registration of every ultrasound machine, to the extent that the use of ultrasound for the management of pregnancy was hindered. The ultrasonologists made a representation to the Government for removing these amendments to facilitate its legitimate use [44][45][46]. This Act has hindered the expansion of NIPT testing options in India.…”

Uptake of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is rapidly expanding around the world. Here, we provide an overview of the current global state of NIPT, describe the expansion of the test menu, highlight alternative prenatal test service delivery, and discuss NIPT counseling considerations. We also provide a perspective on utilisation of NIPT in India, which has unique challenges for implementing NIPT given its large population, vast territory, and diverse ethnic groups. The barriers to implementation of NIPT in India are also discussed. Current recommendations regarding use of NIPT made by professional societies vary in different regions and such recommendations for NIPT in India will be helpful to provide general guidance to the health care providers, but will likely require modifications for implementation in India.

Breast cancer (BC) remains a global health challenge, devastatingly impacting women's lives. Low‐and‐middle‐income countries (LMIC), such as India, experience a concerning upward trend in BC incidence, necessitating the implementation of cost‐effective screening methods. While mammography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging are preferred screening modalities in resource‐rich settings, limited resources in LMICs make clinical breast examination (CBE) the method of choice. This review explores the merits of CBE, its coverage, barriers, and facilitators in the Indian context for developing strategies in resource‐constrained settings. CBE has shown significant down‐staging and cost‐effectiveness. Performed by trained health workers in minutes, CBE offers an opportunity for education about BC. Various individual and health system barriers, such as stigma, financial constraints, and the absence of opportunistic screening hinder CBE coverage. Promising facilitators include awareness programs, capacity building, and integrating CBE through universal health care. No healthcare provider must miss any screening opportunity through CBE.
