Why This Matters
One child dies every 3 minutes from untreated hydrocephalus.
Every day, more than 500 children lose their lives to a treatable condition simply because they cannot access the care they need. NeuroKids exists to change that.
Healing Kids,
Restoring Hope
NeuroKids helps children with hydrocephalus and spina bifida live longer and better lives through innovative treatments, comprehensive training programs, and dedicated mentorship and support.
Our Work
NeuroKids partners with hospitals, surgeons, ministries of health, and local care teams to expand access to life-saving care for children with hydrocephalus and spina bifida.
Through training, mentorship, technology, and health systems strengthening, we help children reach treatment earlier, improve surgical and follow-up care, and support families throughout their journey.
By leveraging remote presence technology, NeuroKids provides continuous, real-time mentorship to partners as they build expertise within their own hospitals and communities. This scalable model expands access to care at a fraction of the cost of traditional global training programs while building sustainable local capacity that continues saving children’s lives for years to come.

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.
