About International Trisomy 13/18 Alliance
We are a volunteer, not-for-profit organization focusing on trisomy 13 and trisomy 18, (also known as Patau and Edwards syndromes respectively). Our mission is to offer trisomy 13 and trisomy 18 support groups, physicians and other professionals, accurate information and resources, and to be a mechanism for sharing between groups.
The ITA website includes research publications about medical interventions and outcomes for children with trisomy 13 and 18. Some articles describe examples of surviving children who benefit from treatment and surgeries, and live a happy and valued life. Translations of books are available on the website.
​
Congratulations to ITA´s Norwegian co founder who has received a national award for her work in increasing awareness for trisomy 18 and 13
​The prize for Protecting Life 2018 is awarded to Siri Fuglem Berg, Anna M. Solberg and Aasta Aaroen for their fight for equality for children with trisomy and for their campaign for life-saving medical interventions on equal terms with other children. These three ladies have shown great courage by sharing their personal stories about their encounter with a health care system that expected them to terminate their pregnancies after their unborn baby was diagnosed with trisomy 18. Through interviews, articles, blogs and seminars they have put trisomy 18 and 13 on the map, and spoken up for a group of children and issues on medical discrimination that few have dared to raise. 
​Menneskeverd wishes to acknowledge their efforts and hopes the award will increase attention on all the important questions that still remain.
