Healing Kids,

Restoring Hope
NeuroKids helps children with hydrocephalus and spina bifida live longer and better lives through innovative treatments, comprehensive training programs, and unwavering support.

Our Work

NeuroKids trains neurosurgeons and their teams and equips hospitals with the essential tools to optimize treatments for children living with hydrocephalus and spina bifida. By harnessing remote presence technology, we offer continuous, real-time mentorship to our partners as they enhance their surgical techniques and decision-making abilities.

This approach allows us to extend our reach farther than ever before and at a minimal cost compared to traditional global training methods. Our partners are subsequently supported to train others using the same model in order to scale the number of children served.

Who We Serve

Hydrocephalus and spina bifida disproportionately affect children from lower-income families. Children living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus comprise not just a category of conditions but a unique and complex group with very specialized needs. In partnership with local hospitals and surgeons, we provide the training and equipment necessary for high-quality care regardless of where they live and irrespective of resource limitations.

Families & Communities

When a child is born with hydrocephalus or spina bifida, it impacts the entire family. We help strengthen the services that support the entire family and their communities in a child’s life.

Local Hospitals

We partner with local hospitals that are committed to strengthening their pediatric neurosurgical services with new, cost-effective techniques and saving children’s lives.

Learn more about our work through our blogs and videos and access key technical resources.
