We are proud to host the 24th International  Conference on Spina Bifida  and Hydrocephalus  with  the support  and  cover of Turkish Ministry of Health. In the meantime, as  Spina  Bifida Association of Turkey, we  are  organizing  our  10th National Congress.  On June  2013,  in  the  third  largest city in Turkey, Izmir, we  are  excited to welcome  guests from  more  than  40 member  countries from  all  over  the world.

We  worked  together  to  create  a  satisfactory  congress programme  with academic  and social  workshops.  We  also aimed  at  cheerful  sharings  from our  culture. Even  though the  countries  we  come from , our  languages,  our cultures differ  from  each other, we  all know  we  share  the  same feelings  and have  a  lot  to learn from each other. We know the importance  of organizing, being  united,  sharing  our experiences  and  solidarity  for both  health  and rights  of  the disabled.

And  so  we  say  UNITE & SHARE!

Let  us  be  together  in  Izmir,  Turkey,  in  28 - 29 June  2013. We  are  looking forward  to meet  you.

This publication/conference is supported by the European Union Programme for Employment and Social Solidarity - PROGRESS (2007-2013).

This programme is implemented by the European Commission. It was established to financially support the implementation of the objectives of the European Union in the employment, social affairs and equal opportunities area, and thereby contribute to the achievement of the Europe 2020 Strategy goals in these fields.

The seven-year Programme targets all stakeholders who can help shape the development of appropriate and effective employment and social legislation and policies, across the EU-27, EFTA-EEA and EU candidate and pre-candidate countries.
