Organization of care for multiple sclerosis in France.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease with a number of aspects involving cooperation among many caregivers. In France, the organization of care for patients with MS has changed over the past 10 years with the development of specific structures, such as regional networks and expert centers. Their aims are to help improve MS patient care and quality of life. Multiple domains are involved, ranging from MS diagnosis to treatment, and including rehabilitation and the psychological and social impact of the disease. Thus, a personalized plan of care service is set up for each MS patient under the guidance of MS healthcare professionals.
