Every year, the 30th of May is designated World Multiple Sclerosis Day to raise awareness of this chronic disease. MS is a neurogenic condition with a variety of symptoms. The cause is currently unknown. The 2023 World MS Day theme is ‘Connections’. MS Connections is all about building community connection, self-connection and connections to quality care.

Women’s Day was held for the first time more than 100 years ago. In its current form and with March 8th as the date for International Women’s Day, it has been celebrated by the United Nations since 1975. Teleflex Urology Care supports the goals of International Women’s Day and today celebrates all women, our female employees and female customers.

There are approximately one million cases of spina bifida and hydrocephalus worldwide every year. Despite the continuous advances in medicine, comparatively little is known about these congenital disabilities, which cannot be cured. The goal of World Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day (WSBHD) is to raise awareness and understanding of the disease as well as to promote the rights of persons living with these conditions.

On 30 May 2022, World MS Day took place for the 14th time. Its aim is to mobilize support for the 2.8 million people with MS worldwide and to raise awareness about the disease. This year, the campaign “MS Connections”, led by the MS International Federation (MSIF), was extended for the third and last time. Once again, contacts should be made in keeping with the local and international focus and the central message remains: Together we’re stronger than MS.

An eventful year draws to a close and Christmas is once again just around the corner. Before the Teleflex Urology Care Blog takes a break for the Christmas holidays, we would like to thank our customers.
