Since its establishment in 1992, Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital has pioneered the creation of the Center for Myasthenia Gravis, which is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with myasthenia gravis. Our approach integrates diagnosis, treatment, emotional support, and social rehabilitation, ensuring holistic care for individuals coping with this condition. The center’s activities align with Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations, particularly Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 4 (Quality Education), and 17 (Partnerships). The center strives to support the successful reintegration of patients into their families, workplaces, and communities, enabling them to thrive to the fullest extent possible. The center has cared for more than 50% of patients with myasthenia gravis nationwide, providing assistance to 3,415 individuals. Moreover, the center has empowered 98 patients and their families to take on leadership roles within the center’s support network. Additionally, the center has published materials dedicated to myasthenia gravis, disseminating valuable information to those in need. Furthermore, the center has extended its reach beyond its immediate vicinity, collaborating with Changhua Show Chwan Hospital to establish a myasthenia gravis club and support group. To foster global connections, the center has organized international patient exchange activities with counterparts in China and Japan, fostering knowledge sharing and solidarity within the global myasthenia gravis community.
