MSSS at Brain Bank Singapore 5th Anniversary 1st November 2024 Brain Bank: Our main purpose is to collect post-mortem human brain tissues via a donor scheme and preserve them optimally for use in ethics committee-approved scientific research studies. It was a pleasure to be part of Brain Bank Singapore's 5th Anniversary celebration. We were honored to share about Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and our mission as MSSS with those present. We look forward to future partnerships with Brain Bank Singapore. Pictured: Molly Kruko Shannon Heo

Ratnah Hafizah, Molly Kruko and Michael Boscoscuro attended SingHealth Patient Advocacy Network event on the 14th September 2024. In this interactive session, we learnt about how healthcare authorities are trying to foster a deeper relationship between patients, carers and healthcare providers to improve patient experience and outcomes. A key learning was the shift in recent years to a ‘patient first’ mentality. A key cornerstone is education, something we at MSSS subscribe to entirely. This is the key avenue where awareness and understanding will be built. Our mission is to educate, advocate and empower. #multiplesclerosissocietysingapore #multiplesclerosis #MSawareness #patientfirst
