Working Group

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) — From Acute Care to Lifelong Support

Making TBI a recognized chronic and notifiable condition at national and global levels.

Join the CoalitionDonate • Share a Patient Story

About

This global coalition reframes TBI as a chronic, life‑course condition and advocates for a World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution to make TBI notifiable. The group blends diplomacy, technical evidence, and lived experience to change policy and systems.

Challenge: Lack of recognition for long‑term care needs and weak surveillance systems.

Beneficiaries: People living with TBI and their caregivers; hospitals and trauma centers; Ministries of Health; frontline providers; communities.
