Over the coming months the MGAQ and the MAA will be emailing its members with requests to complete a number of surveys. These surveys form part of some new and important research currently taking place for persons living with MG and will cover a range of health topics.
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.
