Action For Hydrocephalus aims to inform, train and act to improve the chances of hydrocephalus affected infants and children living a life worth living. The charity designs and develops simple diagnostic aids for families to assess their own children for early symptoms of hydrocephalus. It trains by working with existing programs to establish training exchanges between the UK and overseas. Action for Hydrocephalus sends donated shunts and vital neurosurgical equipment from UK donors to developing countries and areas which lack such items or where the cost is simply too high for poorer families to afford.
