About the One Million Minds Campaign
“One Million Minds” is EMSP’s European Elections 2024 campaign, aiming to:
- highlight recommendations from the MS Barometer to the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) 2024-2029, other European institutions and national authorities to improve the quality of care and lives of people with multiple sclerosis and other neurological conditions in Europe and encourage future MEPs to sign up to our pledge to deliver on our proposals during their mandate.
- mobilise our partners, supporters and friends by endorsing the Manifesto and joining our efforts to achieve a tangible change in the next 5 years.
- prove a platform to the MS community voicing the urgency with which the European and national decision-makers must act to deliver on the recommendations.
Campaign Manifesto
This manifesto is a response to the urgent need to address the unmet needs faced by over 1.2 million individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS) across Europe.
The prevalence of MS is substantial, with 37,000 new MS diagnoses reported across 27 European countries in 2018. As a chronic neurodegenerative condition, multiple sclerosis (MS) involves the immune system erroneously attacking healthy nerves. MS manifests uniquely in each person, showcasing unpredictable symptoms such as pain, fatigue, diminished mobility, and cognitive dysfunction.
