The practice of maternal–fetal medicine (MFM) in
the Philippines originated within the broader scope
of obstetrics and gynecology. The specialty started to
emerge to address the need for specialized care for
high‑risk pregnancies and the management of fetal
complications. Over the years, the development of
MFM as a distinct subspecialty has evolved through
advancements in medical technology, training programs,
and the increasing complexity of pregnancy management.
The Philippine Society of MFM (PSMFM), established
in 1996, is the primary organization representing MFM
specialists in the country. It is dedicated to advancing
the field through education, training, service, and
research. PSMFM provides its members a platform to
enhance their knowledge, improve their skills, foster
collaboration, and share expertise.
