Abstract
Over the past three decades, fetal echocardiography has proven not only to be a valuable tool for prenatal diagnosis of CHD, but also to have a prognostic value for such diseases. However, the application is not easily feasible in developing countries, being a highly specialized technique that requires proper high training & sophisticated technology in addition to other socio-economic factors which act as obstacles for its proper application in these countries. This article reviews experience in two of the developing countries illustrating through numbers obstacles to its proper application and ways to overcome it.
