The new year started with a bang “ Neuro Updates 2014” programme. We had two programmes – one for MS persons and next programme  one with Caregivers of the MS person.

The meeting took place at Taj Coromandel Hotel on January 25, 2014 with our MS Persons. Dr. Suresh Kumar  a very eminent Neuro Physician hailing from Trivandrum was the guest speaker. He emphasized on how to handle MS in a positive way. There was also an interactive session with MS Person where he answered their queries , and gave them tips on how to face MS just like any other disease.

The next meeting was with the Caregivers on January 26, 2014.  It was a very successful meeting with caregivers as there was  interactive session,where the caregivers asked numerous queries on how to handle their loved ones with MS. Again here  the Caregivers should have a physical and healthy mind.
