Atlas
of MS website – A compilation of MS data worldwide
 On August 14, 2006, the Multiple
Sclerosis International Federation (MSIF), launched the Atlas
of MS (available
in English only), an interactive website presenting data
gathered by MSIF and the World
Health Organization.
It illustrates the epidemiology of MS
and the availability of resources to diagnose, treat, support,
care and campaign
for people with MS in different countries
around the world. The data can be analyzed
and compared at a country, regional,
or global level for 64 countries.
The data is organized into themes and presented in maps
and graphs (with the ability to download the underlying
data). Themes covered are:
- epidemiology
- services and support
- the diagnosis of MS
- management of MS
- treatment of MS
- quality of life of people with MS
The data will be updated on an ongoing basis including
securing data from countries that have not yet submitted
and updating existing entries with the most current information
available.
For more information on the MSIF Atlas
of MS website please

of MSIF at paul@msif.org.
