The Spina Bifida statistics for California are as follows: Out of 10,000 births, 2.08 babies are being born with this medical condition. Cases of this medical problem affecting babies are on the rise. The above figure was based on data which was collected during the years from 2001-2005.

In the state of California 7,645 people have been affected with SB. There are currently 11.6 million women who are of child bearing age. Many are very much at  risk of giving birth to babies born with this birth defect. Approximately 36 percent of the people residing in the state of California are of Hispanic origin (which have a higher risk of giving birth to babies with SB compared to other races). This represents  13 million people.

In California, fifteen clinics, hospitals and doctors who specialize in caring for adults and children with Spina Bifida. In Los Angeles, four Spina Bifida clinics, hospitals and doctors that are located and two SB clinics can be found at Oakland. SB clinics can be found also at San Bernardino, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Orange County, Downey, and Long Beach.

At Los Angeles, the clinic which is located at the Children’s Hospital is the registry site for patients affected with SB.
