ICOMBO

Championing the rights of multiples

The International Council of Multiple Birth Organisations (ICOMBO) is a voluntary organisation that champions the rights of multiples. We are passionate about ensuring the unique needs of multiple birth infants, children, adults and their families are understood and met.

We have developed the Declaration of Rights and Statement of Needs of Twins and Higher Order Multiples, which is a key document that outlines what we believe are the fundamental requirements to assist in delivering positive health, wellbeing and educational outcomes, foster inclusion and ensure freedom from discrimination of any kind.

Since 1980, ICOMBO (formerly COMBO) has brought together communities from around the world, with the common goal of benefiting twins, triplets and more, and their families, throughout their lives.
