About Us
Who we are
The CMVkids Foundation advocates for children and families affected by congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease. We want everyone to know what CMV is and what the consequences of an infection may be. We raise money for research investigating the long-term effects of congenital CMV disease.
We are here for patients, parents and professionals. We are building a bridge between the medical world and families affected by CMV disease. More research is desperately needed: so doctors and health care providers can better guide, treat and - in time - prevent the disease.
We are also committed to the development of a vaccine against CMV. Should we have reached our goals and made sufficient progress? Then our mission is successful and our foundation will not be needed anymore.
We want more focus on children born with CMV disease.
Our Vision
A world where CMV in babies can be prevented. In case a child is born with CMV, they and their family will receive appropriate care and support.
Our Mission
Enabling scientific research on CMV
