MS Liga Vlaanderen
MS-Liga Vlaanderen is a Flemish patient organization whose mission is to promote the well-being of people with MS and their loved ones. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an incurable autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The chance of developing the disease is 1 in 1,000. In Belgium, there are approximately 14,000 people with MS. The course of MS is highly unpredictable, and symptoms vary from person to person. That is why MS is also known as the disease with 1,000 faces.
For more than 40 years, MS-Liga Vlaanderen has been a staple in the healthcare landscape, and we aim to be the go-to resource and partner for people with MS, as well as for those with NMOSD and MOGAD. As an organization, we focus on:
- Providing information: We make reliable information available to people with MS and their loved ones, and we organize informational sessions...
- Guidance and support: The staff of our Social Services Department provide one-on-one guidance, assistance with tax and social welfare measures, financial assistance, and help in establishing a strong and robust care network around the person with MS
- Mobilizing and raising awareness: We launch projects, initiatives, and campaigns to increase awareness of MS and support scientific research.
- Connecting: Through various support groups and fun activities in our branches, as well as through our Youth and Vacation Programs, we facilitate connections among people with MS.
Of course, we couldn’t do any of this without the help and support of scientific research.
Connecting: Through various discussion groups and fun activities in our branches, as well as through our Youth and Vacation Programs, we facilitate connections among people facing similar challenges.
Of course, we couldn’t do any of this without the help and support of more than 600 volunteers and our many supporters.
Your support for MS-Liga Vlaanderen—no matter how big or small—makes a difference every day for people with MS and their loved ones. Because no one diagnosed with MS has to face this alone!
