Pectus Matters & MedicAlert

Supporting individuals living with chest wall conditions with 24/7 medical safety protection.

Empowering You in Emergencies

Pectus Matters is a UK charity dedicated to supporting people with chest wall conditions such as Pectus Excavatum and Pectus Carinatum. Founded in 2024, it raises awareness, advocates for better treatment access, funds research, and provides information and support to patients and families, highlighting that pectus conditions are medical as well as cosmetic.

Because vEDS is a rare, life-threatening genetic connective tissue disorder that leaves blood
vessels and organs vulnerable to sudden rupture, immediate and accurate emergency
response is vital.
