EVENTS

IFUNA holds its annual kick-off meeting on 26-27th January in Geneva, Switzerland. This is an invite only insider meeting and the goal is to establish standards in diagnostics and documentation and develop new projects for 2024.

Mission statement

International Functional Association (IFUNA) is a non-profit international organization that disseminates the concept of craniofacial functional medicine. This concept is based on the revelation that all chronic diseases have multifactorial origin, so the only ethical and causal medical approach is a team treatment. We believe that this is in the patient’s best interest that instead of an unidisciplinary symptomatic treatment delivered by a specialist of one medical field, the appropriate treatment is an interdisciplinary teamwork.
