Powerful tool for change
The information in the Atlas of MS can be a powerful advocacy tool, shining a spotlight on MS and raising awareness of the lack of adequate resources available to diagnose, inform, treat, rehabilitate and support people with MS worldwide.
With thanks to…
Worldwide collaboration
The Atlas of MS relies on data supplied by MS organisations from around the world. We are most grateful to the country coordinators and their colleagues for taking the time and effort to gather the information and data.
How others have been making a difference
The Atlas of MS is one of the strongest examples of what the global MS movement can achieve through collaboration. By bringing together evidence from countries around the world, it helps inform policy, strengthen advocacy and guide future investment in research and healthcare. The Atlas also highlights the need for continued investment in surveillance, registries and data systems to strengthen our understanding of the true burden of MS. Better data lead to better decisions and, ultimately, better outcomes for people affected by MS worldwide.
