The Academy
In 2017, the first Duchenne Patient Academy was launched in Athens, Greece. This global patient advocacy initiative was formed by the World Duchenne Organization and Duchenne Data Foundation to create a broader and deeper understanding of Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy (DMD and BMD) and coordinate the global advocacy strategy of the community.
Over the years, Duchenne Patient Academy has evolved into a global initiative connecting Duchenne and Becker MD patient organizations from across the world.
