Centro Paulista de Medicina Fetal

What Centro Paulista de Medicina Fetal does

Centro Paulista de Medicina Fetal (CPMF) is a private maternal-fetal medicine center headquartered in the Vila Clementino neighborhood of São Paulo, Brazil, operating from a single clinic at R. Dr. Diogo de Faria, 755. Founded around 1992, the practice specializes in high-risk pregnancy management, advanced prenatal diagnostics, genetic testing, fetal therapy, and fetal surgery. CPMF pioneered open fetal surgery for myelomeningocele in Brazil and has accumulated a published experience of 253 such procedures, recognized internationally by the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis and published in BJOG (2018). The center has also pioneered fetal surgery for occipital encephalocele in Brazil.

CPMF's service portfolio spans morphological ultrasound across all three trimesters, fetal echocardiography, neurosonography, Doppler velocimetry, cardiotocography, and biophysical fetal profile assessment. It offers a full genetic testing suite including NIPT, karyotyping, microarray, and exome sequencing, as well as invasive diagnostic procedures (amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, cordocentesis) and fetal therapeutic interventions (amnioreduction, amnioinfusion, fetal transfusion, drainages, derivations, and open and endoscopic fetal surgeries). Care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of maternal-fetal medicine specialists, obstetric nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and psychologists. The center has also developed a regulatory-compliant telemedicine platform and a mobile application ('Aplicativo Centro Paulista') to extend patient access.

CPMF generates revenue on a fee-for-service basis through in-person consultations, diagnostic examinations, therapeutic and surgical procedures, and telemedicine visits, accepting both health insurance plans (convênios) and private pay patients. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by digital channels including the center's website, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and an educational pregnancy program ('Gestação Passo a Passo'). The center holds international recognition for its fetal surgery franchise but operates from a single physical location, with no disclosed funding, partnerships, M&A activity, or geographic expansion.
