"The International Council of Multiple Birth Organisations (ICOMBO) is a voluntary organisation that champions the rights of multiples. It was formed in 1980 as an international liaison between multiple birth groups to share resources and research. It has developed and currently has members in 22 different countries.
ICOMBO developed the Declaration of Rights and Statement of Needs of Twins and Higher Order Multiples (https://icombo.org) , which is a key document that outlines what it believes are the fundamental requirements to assist in delivering positive health, wellbeing and educational outcomes, foster inclusion and ensure freedom from discrimination of any kind.
The mission of ICOMBO is to collaborate globally to raise awareness of the unique health, educational, emotional and social needs of all multiples and their families. Together with our member organisations and partners, we build strong networks to deliver positive health, wellbeing and educational outcomes, foster inclusion and ensure freedom from discrimination of any kind."
