International Federation for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus

The International Federation for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (IF) is a global organization that supports individuals affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus, and their families. It works to improve awareness, treatment, and quality of life through research, advocacy, and education. Spina bifida is a condition where the spine doesn’t develop properly before birth, often leading to mobility and other challenges. Hydrocephalus involves excessive fluid buildup in the brain. The IF connects healthcare professionals and advocates worldwide to promote best practices, access to care, and social inclusion for those impacted by these conditions.
