🗓️ 24–25 April | EMSP Annual Conference, Berlin From Diagnosis to Access: Data-Driven Solutions for MS, NMOSD & MOGAD 👉 Register: bit.ly/4rttOF4 @eumsyouth

This is why #EMSP2026 features a dedicated session on inclusion and diversity in MS care. Because representation in research, trials and care must reflect ALL people living with MS across Europe.

🧠 Donna was 17 when she was diagnosed with MS. She had plans. Dreams. A whole life ahead. "Every relapse was like a bereavement — I was losing parts of myself I couldn't get back." Her story is today's #BrainAwarenessWeek feature.

That's why the #EMSP2026 Conference closes with "From Evidence to Action" — patients, clinicians & policymakers aligning on EU health reform, cross-border care & the EU Health Data Space. 🗓️ 24–25 April | Berlin 👉 Register: eu.eventscloud.com/website/19094/

Her MS is invisible. The barriers she faces are not. In Bulgaria, gaps in legal protections can restrict people with MS from basic rights — including the right to study. Awareness without policy change is not enough.

🧠 For #BrainAwarenessWeek, we're sharing 5 stories from 5 countries — people living with MS, NMOSD & MOGAD who pushed back against misdiagnosis and fought for their rights. Today's Story: Hristina from Bulgaria. 🇧🇬

Patient registries show how treatments work over time and what truly matters to patients. To use registry data in regulatory and #HTA decisions, we need clear standards and patient trust. Input on use of registry data in health decisions 👉 Take the survey-bit.ly/4kUh0G3

The 3rd MS Barometer Working Group meeting brought together patient organisations & experts from Europe to refine the 2026 Barometer. This edition expands to include NMO & MOGAD — a major step toward more inclusive neuro data & stronger advocacy. Thank you to all involved.🙏
