Biography
Dr. Lida Anwari is a Consultant Obstetrician & Gynecologist with a subspecialty in Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

Comprehensive clinical expertise
Obstetric care

High-risk pregnancy management
Support for high-risk cases, ectopic pregnancy and multiples — including breech and twin deliveries and complex caesarean sections.
Advanced screenings
Invasive prenatal procedures such as amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS), alongside managing maternal-related diseases.
Gynaecological health

Why choose a maternal-fetal specialist over an ObGyn?
While OB-GYNs play a vital role, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist offers a deeper, more advanced understanding of both maternal and fetal health. Dr. Lida combines her expertise in obstetrics and fetal medicine, ensuring that every aspect of your baby’s development is closely monitored — even in a normal pregnancy. Her specialised care provides an extra layer of reassurance, detecting potential complications early and managing them effectively before they become serious.
