SAVE A BIRTH, CHANGE A LIFE

Our AfHA Mission

Reduce Harm in the Most Vulnerable

More than 80% of hypoxic (low oxygen levels) birth injuries are preventable using early detection by an obstetric provider proficient in electronic fetal monitoring (EFM).

Universal Training

Universal adoption of an adaptive and immersive EFM e-Simulation training program improves early detection of fetal hypoxia, before hypoxic birth injury occurs.
