This research is essential to the future shaping of health services; ensuring quality care and improving treatment, management and better disease understanding for persons living with MG.

The MGAQ Committee is very excited to bring to our members, a new looking and much enhanced Association website.
It is much easier to navigate and the key features are clearly displayed. Please go to www.mgaq.org.au and start exploring. The issue will be in deciding what to look at first. Good luck!
