German Myasthenia Society e.V.

Patient organization

The German Myasthenia Society e. V. was founded in 1986 by those affected and is Europe's largest myasthenia self-help organization with around 3,400 members. The DMG provides information about the rare chronic diseases myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenes syndrome and congenital myasthenia syndromes and is a contact point for those affected and their relatives as well as doctors and therapists. The association has a lot of information material for those affected, doctors and therapists and carries out intensive public relations and educational work to draw attention to myasthenic syndromes. A medical advisory board, which includes highly qualified scientists and doctors, supports the DMG in its work. Since 2010, the DMG has been certifying integrated myasthenia centers (iMZ) in order to continuously promote the quality and nationwide medical care of those affected with myasthenic syndromes. There are now 17 myasthenia centers. The data from the nationwide myasthenia registry is intended to help standardize routine care and thus improve the care situation for patients in the long term. Especially when it comes to rare diseases, it is important to pull together in order to make a difference. Networks for more knowledge and better care are important. As part of this network, we want to support the path through therapy, dealing with the disease and coping in everyday life. Drawing attention to needs and providing information can only be done together.
