World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day is marked to raise awareness and mobilise support for those living with multiple sclerosis, as well as their families and caregivers.

The theme for World MS Day 2024-2025 is diagnosis. The My MS Diagnosis campaign advocates for early and accurate diagnosis for everyone living with MS.

By participating in World MS Day, people can contribute to raising awareness about the impact of multiple sclerosis and advocating for the needs of those affected by the condition. It encourages compassion, understanding, and inclusion for people living with MS, while also highlighting the importance of research and support services in improving their quality of life.

If you or someone you know is affected by multiple sclerosis, World MS Day provides an opportunity to connect with support networks, share experiences, and access resources that can help manage the challenges associated with the condition.

You can visit the World MS Day map to see the global MS community in action and share your activities with the world: Take Action - World MS Day
