The Confederation of Meningitis Organisations (CoMO) designated Saturday, 24 April 2010, as the second annual World Meningitis Day, in order to raise global awareness of this widespread and often devastating condition, help prevent future meningitis cases and improve support for those dealing with meningitis-related after-effects.
New CoMO Chief Executive

Spanish “Talks to Schools” Programme
Thanks to a small grant from CoMO, Fundacion Irene Megias contral Meningitis has been able to initiate an information programme in schools. The president of the Fundacion, Jorge Megias, has visited schools across Spain to speak to pupils and staff about the signs and symptoms and the prevention of meningitis. The programme was carried out through March and April and talks were given in five schools.
