World Encephalitis Day falls on the 22nd February 2018 – It is the global awareness day for people who have been affected by encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). It was founded by The Encephalitis Society in 2014 and has subsequently helped raise awareness among millions of people.

Eight out of ten people across the world do not know what encephalitis is. That is a startling figure which the Encephalitis Society is determined to change if they are to achieve their vison of a world which is aware of encephalitis, it’s consequences and support available.

The Encephalitis Society is the only resource of its kind in the world providing direct support and information to individuals and families affected by encephalitis.
