What is CDH International?
Founded in 1995 as CHERUBS, CDHi is a global non-profit working to help over 6400 patient families in 70 countries through support services, raising awareness and funding and conducting CDH research
Restructured in 2017 as CDH International, CHERUBS still exists as the patient support branch of our organization.
Our Mission: CDH International was created to help families of babies born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia by providing support services, promoting research and raising awareness.

What is Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia?
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is a birth defect that occurs when a baby’s diaphragm (a thin sheet of muscle that separates the abdomen from the chest) fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs to enter the chest cavity and prevent lung growth.
CDH occurs in approximately 1 in 2500 births, with over 1600 babies diagnosed each year in the United States alone. There is currently no known cause, but studies have suggested that it is likely due to a number of genetic and environmental factors.
