Bringing the medical community together to advance care for mito patients
The Mito Medical Network is a newly formed professional body for all specialists working in the area of mitochondrial disease. Our network includes other medical practitioners, clinical researchers, nurses, allied health and other healthcare professionals. By collaborating and unifying with all those who manage mitochondrial patients nationally, we strive to advance their daily medical care.
What we do
Advancing the clinical management of the mito community is paramount to our purpose, vision and goals. We aim to achieve this through increasing medical awareness, education, standards and clinical research networking, whilst advocating to all key stakeholders in the patient’s medical care.
The Need
Although mitochondrial disease was first conceptualised around 1960, its clinical, diagnostic, and genetic complexities has markedly hindered our understanding of the illness. Due to ill-defined symptoms, diagnostic odysseys, complex diagnoses and a void of treatment options, the care of the mitochondrial patient has evolved into a fragmented array of management plans. To advance patient care, the time has come to integrate mitochondrial management nationally through a holistic and unified approach.
