Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore)

MDAS is a social service agency formed in March 2000 to support persons with Muscular Dystrophy and their families facing the life-threatening effects of neuromuscular conditions. The association is a registered charity as a full member of National Council of Social Services (NCSS) and recognised as an Institution of Public Character (IPC).

Muscular Dystrophy is a group of genetic muscle conditions characterized by progressive muscle-weakening and wasting. Manifesting during infancy or childhood, a majority of these individuals have to rely on motorized wheelchairs. They face difficulties completing daily routine tasks; from raising their hands in class or feeding themselves. Later in life, the condition worsens and affects the heart and lungs, resulting in the need to rely on respiratory aids.

MDAS is committed to uplifting the lives of persons with Muscular Dystrophy and enhance the quality of life for them and their families. The programmes and services provided by the association ranges from transport services, financial assistance, physiotherapy and respite service to curriculums nurturing character development, social skills, functional skills and providing vocational training and opportunities.
