THE ISRAEL MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY

For the past 47 years, whenever a MS patient has needed help, the Israel Multiple Sclerosis Society has been there, providing support, professional help, and hope. Our Mission and Activities: The Society's goal is to enable patients to lead a life that is as normal and full as possible, to improve their quality of life and to encourage them to continue to function as members of their family and community and contribute to society despite the many difficulties posed by the disease. The patients receive the finest medical treatment from the medical centers, but the Society is there at the patient's side, cares for them and escorts them step by step in their daily challenges and struggles with government ministries, municipalities, uncertainty, fears, unemployment, boredom, frustration, the difficult financial situation that only adds to the already difficult health situation. The Society provides its members with professional aid, prarmedical treatments and therapies, support, activities, psychological and emotional support and social interaction - for many, this is their only contact with the outside world. The Society publishes newsletter and other forms of information and a website. The Society provides response to needs, not met by government and local agencies. The Israel Multiple Sclerosis Society is there at any given moment, alongside the patients and their families, providing various types of help.
