Who We Are
Our Background
EuMGA is a non-profit organization that serves as an association of European myasthenia gravis national associations, providing information and support to individuals affected by the condition and raising awareness. Our organization started with a group of MG Associations who shared a common vision of making a difference in the lives of those affected by myasthenia gravis.
EUMGA was founded in 2009 by delegates from MG - Croatia, MG - Denmark, AIM - Italy, MIA - Italy, MG - Romania, MGA - UK.
After Brexit, EuMGA is now registered as an Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif (AISBL), according to Belgian Law.
Today, we are proud to be the leading voice of the myasthenia gravis community in Europe.
We are committed to providing valuable resources and facilitating communication and collaboration among the associations. Our goal is to help individuals and their families affected by myasthenia gravis by offering support and raising awareness about the condition. We believe that together we can make a difference and improve the quality of life for those affected by myasthenia gravis.
