CDH International, the world's oldest and largest charity for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, offers research, support and awareness services globally.

CDH is a birth defect that occurs when a baby's diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs into the chest cavity and preventing lung growth. Every 10 minutes a child with CDH is born or 1 in 2500 babies. The survival rate is 50% in High Income Countries and >1% in Lower Income Countries.

CDH International works with many health organizations, researchers and patients around the world to fight Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and save more lives.

Our app provides resources and information for both patient families and researchers.
