Welcome to the north american fetal therapy network (NAFTNET)!
Advancing Fetal Therapy Through Collaboration and Innovation
The North American Fetal Therapy Network (NAFTNet) is a voluntary association of 57 leading medical centers across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and South America dedicated to advancing the field of fetal therapy through collaboration, research, and education. NAFTNet member centers include both academic and community-based Fetal Treatment Units that specialize in advanced in-utero therapeutic procedures. Multidisciplinary teams work together to provide highly specialized, patient-centered care for complex fetal conditions. These teams bring together expertise in maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric surgery, neonatology, pediatric cardiology, fetal imaging, clinical genetics, anesthesiology, and perinatal pathology — ensuring coordinated care and the best possible outcomes for patients and families.
Our Mission
NAFTNet is committed to:
- Supporting fetal therapy centers through collaboration and knowledge-sharing
- Advancing research and innovation in fetal diagnosis and intervention
- Promoting education and training to strengthen the future of fetal therapy
NAFTNet member centers are experienced in selective fetal interventions for conditions including open neural tube defects, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, cystic lung lesions, lower urinary tract obstruction, and complications of monochorionic twin pregnancies, such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
Note: Additional fetal treatment centers in North America may exist that are not currently members of NAFTNet.
