World MS Day is dedicated to raising awareness about Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease that affects the brain and spinal cord.

It is observed on the last Wednesday of May every year and the goal is to share stories, raise awareness, and support those living with MS.

Multiple Sclerosis is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, causing communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. This can lead to various symptoms like fatigue, difficulty walking, and vision problems.

How is it observed?

• Events, workshops, and campaigns are organized worldwide.

• People share their experiences, wear orange (the official color for MS awareness), and participate in fundraisers to support MS research and help those living with the disease.

World MS Day is about bringing attention to Multiple Sclerosis and supporting the global MS community. It's a day to learn, share, and stand together against the challenges of the disease.
