The informational project to aid refugees and immigrants with multiple sclerosis
Project staff provides informational and psychological support to refugees and immigrants from Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus with a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Our primary focus is to create a unified algorithm for accessing medical care and obtaining medications according to various treatment protocols for those who already have such a diagnosis. We also assist those who are planning to immigrate and for whom the lack of support in a new place could be a barrier to departure.
For all those who plan to continue treatment and need medical assistance. We can help with doctor contacts and other information, but we currently do not finance the purchase of medications.
Myelin, which forms scar tissue, is like a tape for the directed transmission of signals from one neuron to another. If the insulation stops working, the connection is interrupted, creating a short circuit.
At the moment, the project operates only in Georgia, but we are actively seeking volunteers and neurologists specializing in multiple sclerosis in Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, and other countries.
