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.

In February 2016, the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi Neurological Institute, with the support of the Foundation, convened a two-day symposium focused on multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and key neurological disorders. Tailored to neurologists, neurosurgeons, general practitioners and other medical professionals practicing in the UAE, the symposium covered the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

In addition, in honor of World MS Day in May 2016, the Foundation hosted a dedicated Muntada talk entitled #StrongerThanMS, that aimed to increase public awareness of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and empower individuals and families affected by it.
