About us

AFE is a life-threatening, acute, and unexpected birth complication that affects both mother and baby. It is a leading cause of maternal death and suffering across the globe and is estimated to affect 1 in every 40,000 births. The AFE Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2008 by an AFE survivor, is a unique coalition of affected families, respected clinicians, world-renowned researchers, and engaged advocates working together to accomplish 3 key initiatives: Advancing research to better understand, treat, diagnose, and someday prevent AFE. In 2013, the AFE Foundation joined into a formal collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas in the United States and established the international Amniotic Fluid Embolism Registry ™ . Promoting awareness and education for the medical community through participation at various clinical meetings, grand rounds, and CME events. The foundation also provides access to safety bundles and published literature to aid in the management and diagnosis of AFE. Offering support to the patients, families, and care providers affected through access to accurate and timely information, outcome specific resources, and connecting them to our community forums.
