Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a condition where a baby's diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs into the chest cavity and preventing lung growth. The resolution highlights the prevalence of CDH, noting that it is as common as spina bifida and cystic fibrosis, yet many people are unaware of it. It also mentions the challenges faced by those with CDH, including multiple surgeries and medical complications.
