TMDCN delivers a range of programmes designed to improve the lives of people living with muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions. Through education, advocacy, research, and community engagement, we work to improve access to care, promote inclusion, and empower individuals and families across Nigeria.

Awareness & Community Outreach Programme

We raise awareness of muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions through community outreach, public education campaigns, school visits, health talks, media engagement, and awareness events. Our aim is to improve understanding, encourage early recognition, and reduce stigma.

Disability Inclusion Programme

We promote the inclusion and participation of people living with disabilities by advocating for equal opportunities, accessible environments, inclusive education, employment, and healthcare. We work with communities, organisations, and policymakers to help remove barriers to inclusion.

TMDCN Connect Network

TMDCN Connect Network is our peer support programme, bringing together individuals living with muscular dystrophy, their families, and carers. The programme provides a safe and supportive community where members can share experiences, receive emotional support, access reliable information, and connect with others facing similar challenges.

Patient Registry Programme

Our Patient Registry Programme securely collects information from individuals living with muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions in Nigeria. The registry supports research, improves understanding of these conditions, and helps ensure Nigerians are represented in national and international research initiatives.

Research & Clinical Collaboration Programme

We collaborate with hospitals, universities, researchers, and healthcare professionals to improve the diagnosis, management, and understanding of muscular dystrophy. Through research partnerships and clinical collaborations, we contribute to advancing knowledge, strengthening healthcare capacity, and improving outcomes for affected individuals.

Family & Carer Support Programme

We recognise the important role families and carers play in supporting individuals living with muscular dystrophy. This programme provides information, guidance, emotional support, and practical resources to help families and carers confidently manage the challenges of daily care.

Healthcare Professional Education Programme

We work with healthcare professionals and healthcare institutions to improve knowledge and awareness of muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions. Through seminars, workshops, webinars, and educational resources, we support earlier recognition, timely referrals, and better standards of care across Nigeria.
