Following the positive response to the #strongerthanMS talk hosted as part of the SHF’s Muntada series in May 2016, the MS Program at the Neurological Institute of Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi will be hosting a dedicated education and public awareness event entitled ‘MS Talks at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’ on 11 February.

Understanding Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy and Neurological Disorders

A key priority of the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Foundation’s health program is supporting and investing in efforts to expand awareness and understanding of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). To that end, the Foundation has partnered with the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and is providing direct support to its MS program.

Health: Engagement at the Local and Global Levels

This quarter offered our Health Program great opportunities to learn about global trends in dementia care and local efforts in public health.

A representative from the Foundation's Health Program participated as an observer to the Council on Aging at the World Economic Forum’s annual Summit on the Global Agenda in Abu Dhabi.

Healthy eating, exercise, and brain-training programme results in slower mental decline for older people
