June 3, 2026- QuidelOrtho and the Allo Hope Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families and clinicians managing maternal alloimmunization, announced a new collaboration focused on improving prenatal care through education, early testing and stronger connections between laboratory providers, clinicians and patients.
Maternal red blood cell alloimmunization is a serious, often misunderstood condition that can pose significant risks to the child during pregnancy. Red cell antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy fetal and neonatal red blood cells, causing hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), a temporary but life-threatening condition that requires timely, specialized treatment. Many families struggle to find clear, early and actionable information, creating gaps in care that disproportionately affect underserved populations. This collaboration aims to change that.
Rooted in a shared purpose, QuidelOrtho and Allo Hope will jointly develop resources that elevate patient voices, increase awareness among healthcare providers and help ensure women receive informed, equitable prenatal testing and care from the very beginning.
