Meet MS21's members

MS in the 21st Century (MS21) started in 2011 as a group of healthcare professionals with the aim to standardize multiple sclerosis (MS) care worldwide.

The importance of the patient voice was clear and, in 2016, people living with MS (PwMS) were invited to join the group.

Research has found that:

  • There are differences between what healthcare professionals and PwMS believe to be the unmet needs in MS care, and
  • For the two groups to better understand and support each other, communication in MS care needs to be improved. Therefore, the goals to standardize MS care are to:
  • Improve communication between healthcare professionals and PwMS; and
    • Develop practical educational resources based on real-world needs and data.
    • Conduct real-world evidence, clinical research and insights to further understand the unmet needs in MS care

Please see below for more information about MS21’s members.
