On October 25, persons with Spina Bifida and their families worldwide will come together to celebrate the World Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day 2026 (#WSBHD26) on the theme:

​

A Lifetime of Experiences: From Preconception to Ageing 

#LifetimeOfSBH

​

Individuals with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (SBH) continue to face numerous barriers, including stigma, discrimination and a widespread lack of awareness – all of which limit full participation in life’s opportunities. Addressing those challenges and accelerating action on key issues affecting the SBH community is more important than ever!

​

Save The Date

Join us on 25 October 2026 for IF's annual World Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day Conference.

 

Each year, the webinar brings together persons with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, organisations, healthcare professionals and advocates from around the world to mark World SBH Day and discuss this year's campaign theme. Further details, speakers and registration information will be announced soon on the IF and WSBHD websites and social media channels.
