Celebrating 20 Years of Advancing Fetal Therapy
2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the North American Fetal Therapy Network — a milestone that reflects two decades of collaboration, innovation, and leadership in the field of fetal therapy.
NAFTNet is a voluntary association of 54 leading medical centers across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and South America that specialize in advanced in-utero fetal therapeutic procedures. Our member centers include both academic and community-based Fetal Treatment Units, where multidisciplinary teams provide highly specialized care.
These expert teams include specialists in maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric surgery, neonatology, pediatric cardiology, fetal imaging, clinical genetics, anesthesiology, and perinatal pathology — all working together to provide the best possible outcomes for patients and families.
Our mission is to:
Support fetal therapy centers through collaboration and knowledge-sharing
Foster research and innovation in the field of fetal diagnosis and intervention
Promote education and training to advance the practice of fetal therapy
NAFTNet member centers are experienced in performing selective fetal interventions for conditions such as open neural tube defects, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, cystic lung lesions, lower urinary tract obstructions, and complications of monochorionic twin pregnancies (including twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome).
Note: There are additional fetal treatment centers in North America that are not currently part of NAFTNet.
