United in the fight: our global commitment to defeating meningitis
In this powerful video, members of the Confederation of Meningitis Organisations from across the globe unite to say why it is critically important to defeat meningitis. They share personal stories and commitments, underlining why achieving the goals of the World Health Organization’s Global Road Map to Defeat Meningitis by 2030 is essential. This initiative is not just a medical or scientific goal, but a deeply personal one for those affected by meningitis. The Road Map has been crafted with their voices at its heart, ensuring that their experiences drive the global fight against this devastating disease.
What the World Health Organization Global Road Map will achieve:
- Eliminate bacterial meningitis epidemics: targeting the root of the problem to prevent future outbreaks.
- Reduce vaccine-preventable cases and deaths: striving to cut cases of bacterial meningitis by 50% and reduce mortality by 70%.
- Improve quality of life post-meningitis: focused efforts on reducing disability and enhancing recovery outcomes for survivors of all forms of meningitis.
Join us in spreading awareness and pushing for change as we aim to meet these visionary goals by 2030. Watch and discover how every voice, every story and every commitment adds strength to our collective efforts.

    Got Meningitis when i was 28 from a prescribed pain killer (at least thats the plausible cause 1:10000 as per inlet), had severe headaches over days... went to the hospital said it only happens at night but when it happens its bad, waited for 11 hours in the waiting room (after paying) told them that's unacceptable and 2 days later I left my house my face and arm got paralysed i looked i pulled out my phone... didn't remember the emergency number luckily i had a taxi on speed dial... went to the hospital directly in front didn't recognize the entry... taxi driver told me entry is in front, went in and told the nurse i think i have heart attack... nurse asked me if im a drug abuser (which i was not) great health care system when they directly assume you are high on drugs.... endof the story 3 hours later I'm in real hospital few kilometres away waking up from a blackout pinned down by 4 guys telling them "Im dying why the fuck do you want to kill me, im dying why are you holding me down" obviously i was resisting whatever they did and with 6.4 they might need a few guys, anyhow lasted for me knowing what happened only for a minute till I black out again... in the meantime i died and 72 hours later i wake up again in ICU.... Its a very funny story now but reality is there is some permanent brain damage, I lost access to my sensitive side that made me formulate feelings in written/art etc. and that's fully gone, i stil lcan feel and maybe love but it's not the same any more meningitis damages you permanently... Everyone that went through it stay strong focus on fixing yourself you can still have a beautiful life and find pleasure in other things, dont get hooked up on who you were hook yourself on who you become... Regarding the ladies... never felt sick or tired afterwards just different, maybe they had another part of their brain damaged...

    Hello. I had Spinal Menigitis as a small boy (16 months old) in the early 60s (I am 61 now). I was expected to die and had my last rights given to me by a Priest and my parents bought a casket for me as well. I did survive but have had lingering brain issues ever since. I went to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota yearly as a boy as well. I am now being tested for Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). If my story can he helpful, I'd be happy to assist. Thank you!

    I'm a survivor, I had bacteria meningitis in April 28,2021. The hard part was not having anyone to talk to about it in the United States about it. The doctor's give me the impression that they don't want to be bothered with it 😜.
