Persons living with Multiple Sclerosis, caregivers, doctors and families gathered in Hyderabad to mark World MS Day. Organised by MSSI Hyderabad, the event focused on awareness, emotional well-being, early diagnosis and the importance of inclusion for those living with MS.
Hyderabad: Persons living with Multiple Sclerosis, their families, caregivers and senior doctors came together to share experiences, talk about the disease and to celebrate World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day in Hyderabad.
The MS Day celebrations, organised by Multiple Sclerosis Society of India (MSSI), Hyderabad chapter, at City Centre Mall, Banjara Hills, also featured a special informative presentation by senior neurologist, Dr. Surya Prabha, who spoke on the importance of managing stress and maintaining emotional well-being while living with MS.
A short awareness film, ‘Unbreakable Spirit’ produced by Farida Raj, was screened to shed light on the challenges and resilience of
persons living with this often misunderstood neurological condition.
The MS Day celebrations also featured lively music, a symbolic human chain, interactive activities, and refreshments, creating an atmosphere of solidarity, hope, and community spirit.
MSSI Hyderabad has consistently chosen City Centre Mall as the venue for its annual World MS Day observance. The bustling shopping destination attracts a large number of visitors, many of whom stop to learn about the event, providing an excellent opportunity to raise public awareness about Multiple Sclerosis.
While there is currently no cure for MS, advances in medical science have made it possible to manage the condition effectively. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can significantly improve quality of life and help individuals lead active, productive lives.
Through events such as World MS Day, MSSI Hyderabad continues its mission of fostering awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting those living with Multiple Sclerosis, while reminding society that understanding and inclusion are as important as medical treatment, the press release added.
