World MS Day 2025

ABOUT WORLD MS DAY
World MS Day is observed globally on the 30th May every year. The aim of the day is to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis and bring together those who are living with the condition to share their stories.
THE WORLD MS DAY THEME
The theme this year is ‘diagnosis’. The time of diagnosis can be emotionally challenging for many. Whether someone has just received a diagnosis of MS or have transitioned to a different type of MS, various concerns and emotions can arise.
Recognising that each diagnosis journey is as unique as a fingerprint, it is crucial to provide a platform for individuals to share their experiences if they wish to do so.
