Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) / Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) Foundation International

Description:
The GBS/CIDP Foundation International is working for a future when no one with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and related syndromes such as multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) suffers alone and that everyone has access to the right diagnosis and the right treatment, right away.

• They educate doctors, clinicians, patients and caregivers to increase awareness and understanding;
• They fund research through grants, establishing fellowships and other appropriate avenues to identify the causes of and discover treatments;
• They advocate at the federal, state, and grassroots levels to educate policymakers and help them make informed decisions that benefit our patient community.

Vision:
Every person affected by GBS, CIDP, or related syndromes will have access to early and accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and knowledgeable support services.
