    Public subsidy for prenatal genetic diagnosis offers significant benefits outweighing costs. Addressing barriers like cost and knowledge gaps can improve access to these vital diagnostic services.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Economics
    • Public Health Policy
    • Genetic Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Estimating the economic impact of prenatal genetic diagnosis presents analytical challenges.
    • Existing benefit-cost studies provide a foundation for evaluating prenatal testing programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the benefits and costs associated with prenatal genetic diagnosis.
    • To assess the economic viability of public subsidy for prenatal testing.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing benefit-cost studies on prenatal diagnosis.
    • Analysis of practical obstacles to public subsidy programs.

    Main Results:

    • Public subsidy for prenatal genetic diagnosis can generate benefits substantially exceeding costs.
    Keywords:

  • Key obstacles include parental attitudes, knowledge deficits, financial barriers, and healthcare system organization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Despite practical challenges, policy analysis can guide improved utilization and expansion of prenatal testing.
    • Public funding for prenatal genetic diagnosis is economically justifiable and recommended.
