ANZMES (Associated NZ ME Society Inc.)

ANZMES stands for the “Associated New Zealand Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Society Inc.” We are the National Advisory on ME in Aotearoa/New Zealand. With over four decades of knowledge and experience, we are the trusted leaders in ME education, representation, and research. We were the first ME organisation in the world, founded in 1980. Our expertise comes from a reputable medical team of advisors, including a world renowned expert and MNZM recipient, a fellow of the Royal NZ College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and a network of academic researchers, clinicians, and representatives from the ME community. The executive committee comprises experts in their respective fields for governance, policy, leadership, representation, and education. ANZMES is run by an executive committee of unpaid volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to the cause. The team is passionate about raising awareness, reducing stigma, advocating for improved outcomes, and ensuring relevant evidence-based biomedical research is funded in New Zealand. The National Co-ordinator is the sole employee of ANZMES who ensures smooth delivery of all administrative services, and is the first point of contact for all queries. As a non-profit ANZMES relies on donations to continue providing services. Are you a health professional who wants to learn about ME/CFS and post COVID conditions?
