Encephalitis International is a truly unique organisation, providing support and information to all those affected directly or indirectly by encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). We work to raise global awareness and education about the condition amongst the general public and the medical and health community. We collaborate on, and fund, research into the causes, symptoms, treatment and outcomes for encephalitis. We continue to be a “light in a dark place” and a lifeline for the hundreds of thousands of people worldwide who are affected by the condition each year.Our Vision: a world without death and disability from encephalitis. Our Mission: rebuilding futures around the world by saving lives, accelerating awareness and driving research.
