Today I'm talking to Paola Kruger, Patient Expert at EUPATI in Rome, Italy. Paola lives with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis herself and helps to improve the life of MS patients in Italy with her expertise. After sharing her own story, she provides inside views into the treatment, care and the challenges of the support system in Italy.

Introduction Paola Kruger

My name is Paola, I live in Rome with two kids and two cats. I have a great passion for languages and clinical research. My interest in clinical research started after my diagnosis of MS, but ever since it has been so fascinating to understand how medicines are developed and what role patients can have in this process.

Finally, what message of hope or encouragement would you like to share with individuals living with MS in Italy?

When they tell you that you can achieve your life objectives despite MS, please believe it, because you can!

How and where can interested people find you online?

You can easily connect with me on LinkedIn.

A big thank you to Paola Kruger for her openness and all her engagement for people living with multiple sclerosis in Italy.

See you soon and try to make the best out of your life,
