CDH International 1.1

CDH International, recognized as the world's oldest and largest charitable organization focusing on Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), extends its services globally with a commitment to research, support, and raising awareness.

CDH, a congenital condition, manifests when a newborn's diaphragm fails to develop completely, resulting in the displacement of abdominal organs into the chest cavity, thereby obstructing lung growth. The statistics reveal that a child affected by CDH is born every 10 minutes, equating to 1 in every 2500 newborns. Notably, the survival rates stand at 50% in High-Income Countries contrasted with less than 1% in Lower-Income Countries.

Collaborating with various health institutions, researchers, and individuals worldwide, CDH International strives to combat Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and augment survival rates among afflicted individuals.

The organization's application serves as a valuable resource hub, offering essential information and support to both families of patients and medical researchers.
