The World Federation of Neurology Specialty Group and the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations have established a memorandum of understanding. They plan to work together on research, education, advocacy and clinical care, including guidelines, clinical trials and data sharing.
Why this matters
The partnership is intended to improve coordination for people with motor neurone disease (MND), their families and caregivers. Its stated priorities include more equitable access to diagnosis and treatment and support for capacity building in low- and middle-income regions. No change to treatment has been demonstrated yet.
