We are back from ICTRIMS and as promised here’s the update!

In consultation with chapters heads and the governing council members who believed that showcasing MSSI as one of the largest and the only patient welfare organisation having a national presence is critical. We all agreed that now there is a greater need to increase awareness within various ministries (Centre and state) as well as within the medical fraternity especially the neurologist.  We identified 3 key areas to work on i) build the National Registry ii) set up the Medical Scientific Advisory Committee & iii) participate in India’s largest neurology conference – ICTRIMS.

While work on 2 of the 3 key areas is underway, we have just attended a very successful ICTRIMS conference. Attending the ICTRIMS with representation from all chapters created the much-desired impact on the services we provide to our registered members. It was heartening to hear almost every doctor mention MSSI and their desire to work with us to help MS persons understand and manage MS better

Our heartfelt thanks to Sanofi Genzyme, Dr Kameshwar Prasad, Dr Suresh Kumar without whose support this would not have been possible. A BIG thank you to 8 chapter heads in making MSSI participation at ICTRIMS a reality!
