Description of Organization

Established in March 2000, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore), also known as MDAS, is a non-profit social service agency formed by a group of caring and concerned individuals to support persons with Muscular Dystrophy and their families facing the life-threatening effects of an incurable and debilitating condition. MDAS was subsequently registered in June 2002 as a charity and is a full member of National Council of Social Services (NCSS), recognised as an Institution of Public Character (IPC) status.

MDAS is committed to uplifting the lives of children and adults living with Muscular Dystrophy (MD). As a specialised group, we understand the challenges they faced, and as such, our programmes and services are aimed at enhancing the quality of life of our members and their families too.
These range from life-skills training, enrichment, sports, health education, counselling, physiotherapy, respite care, wheelchair-accessible transport to financial-related assistance.
