Womens UTI and maternal health

Global guidance specifies midstream urine (MSU) for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) and prenatal screening, yet there is no protocol to ensure guidelines are met, leading to unreliable samples, contaminated with bacteria and flora washed from the skin into the urine sample creating an unreliable diagnostic outcome and flushing taxpayer money down the loo.

• UTI is a significant cause of death accounting for 4835 deaths in England and Wales in 2012
• Unplanned hospital admissions for UTI cost the NHS nearly £400m to treat
