MS in focus: Information evening at the Fulda Clinic for those affected and their relatives
On November 6, 2025, an important event on the topic of multiple sclerosis (MS) will take place in the lecture hall of the Fulda Clinic. From 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., all interested parties, those affected and their relatives are cordially invited to find out more about this widespread disease of the central nervous system. The event, organized by the Department of Neurology at the Fulda Clinic, in collaboration with the resident neurologists, the Fulda district, self-help groups and the German Multiple Sclerosis Society (DMSG), has the motto: “MS Diagnosis: A Thousand Faces and Yours”.
Multiple sclerosis is still considered incurable, which illustrates the relevance of such events. Although there have been advances in research, access to effective treatments remains a challenge for many patients. Prof. Dr. Tobias Neumann-Haefelin, Director of the Neurology Clinic, will talk about current developments in the field of MS. In addition, Dr. Thomas Klitsch, neurologist and psychiatrist, will present important information about work ability and support offers for those affected. Priv.-Doz. Dr. Christoph Preul, senior physician, provides information about current treatment options, while the speech therapy team presents therapeutic approaches for swallowing disorders and language problems.
Important information for those affected
A special highlight of the event is the opportunity to take part in a panel of experts, in which the audience can ask questions directly to the experts. Sophia Nawaz from DMSG Hessen will report on news from the MS counseling centers and thus provide valuable resources for those present. No registration is required – everyone is welcome to attend the event.
The importance of such information evenings is underpinned by the findings on multiple sclerosis: While MS is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system, access to essential medicines needed for treatment is limited in many countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) is working to ensure that these medicines are accessible to all segments of the population through the Model List of Essential Medicines. However, economic and political conditions are often a hindrance, especially in regions of Africa, Latin America and Asia, where access to essential treatments is often severely limited, as can be read on the multiple-sklerose-e-v.de website.
It is important for those affected and their relatives to find out about the disease and the support services available. Events like the one on November 6th help to pool this information and encourage those affected to be active and take charge of their health. Since the issue of multiple sclerosis not only has a medical but also a social dimension, participating in such events is a step in the right direction.
In summary, the event at the Fulda Clinic is an excellent opportunity to obtain up-to-date information on the disease multiple sclerosis, to exchange ideas with other sufferers and to obtain expert advice. Take the chance and get smart! Further information about the event can be found at Fulda Hospital as well as the general challenges in access to medicines Multiple Sclerosis e.V..
