Membership
CoMO is an international member organisation. Our members benefit from being part of a global network that works together to reduce the incidence and impact of meningitis worldwide.
Membership of CoMO is free and open to patient groups, individuals and not-for-profit organisations with a focus on
meningitis, survivors and families.
We have three types of members:
