World Brain Day 2021 ‘Stopping MS’: an interview with Tissa Wijeratne and Joanna Laurson-Doube

Abstract

The theme for World Brain Day (WBD) this year is ‘Stopping MS’. Despite the amazing progress that science and medicine have made in the development of therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS), access to such therapies is still a major challenge in many parts of the world. We spoke to Professor Tissa Wijeratne, one of the founders of WBD, who has steered many initiatives that aim to improve brain health globally and Dr Joanna Laurson-Doube about the actions needed to improve MS treatment worldwide.
