#WorldMSDay, ECTRIMS joins the international MS community in calling for global action to improve the early and accurate diagnosis of MS.
This year's theme,
#MyMSDiagnosis, reminds us that early and accurate diagnosis is not just a clinical milestone. Behind every diagnosis is a person seeking clarity, answers, and timely access to care.
♦️ More than 2.9 million people worldwide live with multiple sclerosis
♦️ Every 5 minutes, someone, somewhere in the world is diagnosed with MS
When we look at what shapes an MS diagnosis, the 2024 revisions to the McDonald Diagnostic Criteria represent an important step forward. The updated criteria provide healthcare professionals with more precise guidance to support earlier and more accurate MS diagnoses, incorporating new diagnostic tools and a broader understanding of how MS presents across different patient groups.
ECTRIMS is committed to driving research, sharing knowledge, and improving care for people living with MS.
