DEAR FRIENDS, WELCOME!
It is our pleasure you have opened the English language web-site of the All-Russian Multiple Sclerosis Society (ARMSS).
At this web-site, we intend to create an information window for those, who find contents in English easier to follow than in Russian. We want to make our English-speaking visitors and stakeholders feel comfortable here as much as possible through a friendlier way of presenting information.
I put much trust you will enjoy navigating here and find this resource informative!
Dr Yan Vlasov
President, ARMSS
Svetlana Goronkova Is the Wolfensohn 2013 Award Winner
“We should have nominated Svetlana in previous years”, someone suggested as we drew up Svetlana Goronkova’s nomination to submit to the James D. Wolfensohn Award 2013 for International Person with MS. Now, Svetlana, Samara MS society director, has won it. But perhaps it was premature to put her forward earlier since we would have lacked one of her significant achievements which considerably contributed to Svetlana’s story.
Rehab centre for PwMS’ families
In Samara, a new centre of rehabilitation for the families of people with MS has just opened. Many of these people cannot get about without someone helping them. They use wheelchairs, and it results in social restrictions. The centre will be the place for them to do exercise therapy, Yoga, conduct practical training lessons.
