About Us

The Confederation of Meningitis Organisations Inc (CoMO) brings together patient groups and child health organisations from all over the world who are working toward the elimination of meningitis and its related septicaemia and who support those touched by these diseases.

CoMO is incorporated as a charitable body in Perth, Western Australia with Rules of Association formulated under Australian law.  The secretariat and Chief Executive’s office are located in the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth. The secretariat deals with administration of CoMO and all applications for membership.

CoMO currently has 29 members and associate members in 20 countries and is organised on a regional basis – The Americas, Europe & Africa and Asia Pacific; making members globally united and regionally enabled in the fight against meningitis and septiceamia.

By joining hands together and raising our voices CoMO and its members can make a difference to the spread of knowledge around the world about the signs and symptoms of meningitis and the means of prevention by vaccination.
