Recent years have seen rapid developments in diagnostic criteria, treatment options and monitoring procedures in multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as an improved overall understanding of the disease. Major policy changes are needed, however, to translate these advances into better outcomes for people with MS and those who care for them.

This document reproduces the policy recommendations from the report Brain health: time matters in multiple sclerosis. Our vision is that these recommendations will be used widely among those committed to creating a better future for people with MS and those who care for them.
