People living with MS in Albania have been given new hope following a major step forward in access to MS treatment.

Thanks to the advocacy efforts of Fondacioni "Pema e Jetes" (Tree of Life Foundation), people with MS now have reimbursed access to four additional disease-modifying therapies, expanding treatment options and bringing Albania closer to European standards of MS care.

This achievement shows the power of patient-led advocacy, collaboration and persistence in creating lasting change for the MS community. 💙

How do we maintain care for people with Multiple Sclerosis during times of war or crisis?

MS is a chronic disease requiring continual access to medical and psychosocial care, and crises such as pandemics, natural disasters, and armed conflict disrupt the continuity of care people need to maintain their quality of life.

A new publication, which involved experts from our member organisation the Iran MS Society, has developed practical, crisis-ready recommendations to maintain treatment continuity, reduce inequities, and guide clinicians and policymakers.

Recommendations for the government and MS organisations include:
- Create a single MS crisis hub to provide information for people with MS
- Use telemedicine platforms to deliver care remotely
- Use mobile clinics to reach people who may not be able to travel to clinics
- Ensure secure supply routes for essential medicines
- Provide kits to allow home-based rehabilitation
- Screen people with MS and caregivers for psychological needs and set up peer-support groups

🧠 Progressive MS Research: Milestones, Setbacks and Hope with Tim Coetzee

Progressive MS remains one of the biggest challenges in the MS community. While research has made important advances, there is still more to understand about what drives progression and how we can develop better treatments.

In the latest episode of MS-Perspektive, Tim Coetzee, President and CEO of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, discusses the journey of progressive MS research — from the progress that has been made, to the challenges that remain, and the importance of global collaboration in accelerating discoveries.

As a driving force behind the International Progressive MS Alliance, Tim shares insights into how researchers, MS organisations, industry partners and people affected by MS are working together to advance understanding, accelerate treatments and improve quality of life for people living with progressive MS.

This week, Multiple Sclerosis International Federation Chief Executive Lydia Makaroff is in Brussels to participate as an observer at the Executive Committee meeting of the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform and to contribute to discussions on the organisation’s future strategic direction.

Strong collaboration between multiple sclerosis organisations is essential to achieving progress for people affected by multiple sclerosis. Across Europe and globally, many of the challenges facing the multiple sclerosis community are shared, including access to timely diagnosis, effective treatment, quality care, rehabilitation, employment support and meaningful involvement in decision-making.

Strategic discussions such as these provide an opportunity to exchange perspectives, identify common priorities and strengthen collaboration across the multiple sclerosis movement. By working together, organisations can amplify the voice of people affected by multiple sclerosis and accelerate progress on issues that matter most to the community.

Multiple Sclerosis International Federation values its longstanding partnership with the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform and looks forward to continuing to work together to improve the lives of people affected by multiple sclerosis across Europe and around the world.
