National MS Society and Erth Zayed Philanthropies Sign AED 25 Million Grant Agreement on World MS Day
To mark World MS Day 2025, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) signed a strategic agreement with Erth Zayed Philanthropies to support the UAE’s national MS agenda. The AED 25 million grant will accelerate the impact of the National Coalition for MS, a multi-sector platform led by NMSS to advance care, research, and inclusion. Erth Zayed Philanthropies joins as a founding partner, reinforcing a shared commitment to improving diagnosis, access, and equity for people living with MS. Coalition members include Sanofi, Axios International, PureHealth, and Manzil Healthcare Services. The agreement was signed by H.E. Dr. Fatima Al Kaabi, Vice Chair of NMSS, and a representative of Erth Zayed Philanthropies during a ceremony in Abu Dhabi. The partnership aligns with this year’s global WMSD theme, “My MS Diagnosis: Navigating MS Together,” and supports the Coalition’s 2025–2026 priorities, which include improving support resources, workplace inclusion, early diagnosis, and sustainable investment in MS research.
