Serving as FHS’s primary platform for global engagement, the Committee fosters partnerships with organizations, institutions, and professionals worldwide to improve equitable access to prenatal cardiovascular care and enhance the quality of fetal heart disease diagnosis and management across diverse healthcare settings.
