World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day aims to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis, a neurological condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and to support those living with this incurable disease. The purpose of the day is to educate the public, advocate for better care and services, and strive for breakthroughs in research that could ultimately lead to a cure. Originally initiated by the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF) and its members in 2009, World MS Day has since risen to global significance. Each year it features a theme that highlights a specific aspect of living with multiple sclerosis. Past themes have touched upon issues like mental health, young people and MS, and visibility. The day also provides a platform for individuals with MS to share their personal stories, thus helping to dispel myths and misconceptions about the disease. World MS Day is globally recognized on the last Wednesday of May, reinforcing its strategic role in MS awareness month. This day serves as a reminder to the world of the urgent need for improved treatments and services, as well as a cure for multiple sclerosis. The events and activities undertaken on this day shed light on the everyday reality of living with MS, emphasizing the importance of unity, empathy, and support.
