Join Hands

CoMO encouraged 244 people from 23 countries to join hands against meningitis through its online global community.

Through our Join Hands animation, people from all over the world could find out about meningitis, the work of CoMO and our members, read real-life stories, see who else was taking part, and join their hands to create a unified voice in the fight against meningitis.

World Meningitis Day activities

CoMO members delivered a range of World Meningitis Day events, campaigns and awareness-raising activities.

They made presentations at hospitals and conferences to educate doctors about meningitis from a patient’s point of view. They had information stalls and press conferences. They held balloon races, virtual tea parties and head shaving events.

Thousands of ‘Dear Dr’ letters were sent to medical professionals to involve doctors in World Meningitis Day. And in Spain, more than 350 children participated in the First Kids Race Against Meningitis.
 

CoMOalso led on a range of press releases, articles, e-cards and social media activities that took the World Meningitis Day message across the world.
