Every minute, three people around the world are diagnosed with encephalitis — a sudden inflammation of the brain caused by infections or autoimmune conditions. It can affect anyone, and early treatment is critical. While it is a serious illness, many individuals go on to make strong recoveries, with the right care and rehabilitation helping them regain independence and quality of life.

Encephalitis International is dedicated to rebuilding futures: saving lives through faster diagnosis, expanding awareness so more people get timely treatment, and driving research that continues to improve outcomes for those affected.
