We’re thrilled to welcome you to the June edition of MS Voice, your go-to place for the latest news, updates, and real life stories from Multiple Sclerosis New Zealand. Can you believe we are almost halfway through 2024? For us here at MSNZ the year has been flying by and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
In this edition, we are excited to tell you about an upcoming Brain Health Seminar we are co-hosting in Auckland with the MS Research Trust and MS Auckland. We are eager to hear from our guest speaker, Professor Helmut Butzkueven. He will share his knowledge on the importance of optimising brain health. We hope to see many of you there, but we appreciate not everyone can attend, so the event will be recorded. To receive a copy of the recording direct to you inbox, please register here or via the link below.
Also in this edition we discuss the under resourced health system that has been causing delays in MS patients access to treatments, particularly in Canterbury, and an upcoming meeting with Pharmac in July to urge them to fund new therapies for RRMS that could reduce the burden of lengthy infusion times.
Last week was National Volunteer Week and we wholeheartedly sent appreciation to everyone who has generously donated their time, effort, and resources by volunteering with us or the regional societies. We also expressed our heartfelt thanks to MSNZ’s dedicated Committee of volunteers. We simply couldn’t do all the wonderful things we do for those affected by MS in Aotearoa without this amazing group of talented and hardworking volunteers.
Plus so much more….so dig in below.
