About us

All United for MG in a few words

Myasthenia gravis poses unique unmet needs, driving us to join forces, striving for advancements in research, improved access to care, increased awareness, and ultimately, a brighter future for everyone impacted by this complex autoimmune disorder.

Launched in February 2023, our coalition brings together patient organizations and representatives from different European countries and stands united by the vision of a world where every individual with MG is understood, supported, and equipped to live their best lives despite the burden of the disease.

Our mission & vision

At the heart of our mission is a deep commitment to improving the quality of life for people with myasthenia gravis (MG) and their families. We firmly believe that collaboration among diverse stakeholders is essential to catalyze positive change and drive progress in MG management, research and advocacy.

Looking ahead, we envision a Europe where MG is well understood and well managed. Our coalition is determined and unwavering in its commitment to turn this vision into a tangible reality.

How to work

The governance of All United for MG is based on a collaborative model. With the institutional support of argenx, the coalition’s member associations hold monthly online meetings, providing a platform for all members to discuss upcoming actions and align on strategic initiatives.

Content development is an essential facet of our outreach efforts. This process is managed by an Editorial Committee made up of three member associations that rotate every three months. Each association actively contributes ideas, stories and testimonials that reflect the collective strength and resolve of the coalition.

The first European Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Day

An important achievement of our coalition was the launch of the first ever European MG Awareness Day on June 2, 2023.

The European Awareness Day aims to showcase the experiences and challenges of those affected by MG, to promote understanding and to advocate for improved standards of care. Months of campaigning led to this first edition, culminating in the unveiling of six recommendations for concrete EU policy proposals.
