ABSTRACT
Spina bifida is a complicated problem which affects many systems and demands multidisciplinary attention. The psychosocial aspects of a condition like spina bifida also need to be carefully handled. The ultimate goal is prevention, requiring co-ordinated efforts to establish antenatal diagnosis and screening tests for this anomaly. In our country, the task of solving the difficulties faced by these children at home and in school also falls on our shoulders. All the above responsibilities can only be undertaken if a group of doctors, nurses, social workers, administrators and philanthropists are dedicated to the care and well being of these children. A special clinic helps to create and maintain such a group in order to provide for all, the varied medicosocial needs of a spina bifida patient under one roof.
