Amniocentesis for sex determination is one of the strategies of Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme.Reason: Ban on amniocentesis checks increasing menace of female foeticide.
Amniocentesis for sex determination is banned, not a strategy of the RCH programme.
Amniocentesis involves removal of some of the amniotic fluid that bathes the developing foetus and analysing the foetal cells and dissolved substances. It can be done to detect genetic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, biochemical defects, etc. It can also reveal a baby's gender. Statutory ban on amniocentesis for sex-determination has been done to legally check increasing menace of female foeticides. Its application of sex determination is not one of the strategies of Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme.
