This time I have Dr. Meral Seferoglu as an interview guest on the show and we talk about MS treatment in Turkey.

It's always interesting to hear about other countries and how they deal with this chronic disease. I am really impressed by the number of rehabilitation days per year that a person with MS can access in Turkey. Rehab is so important to overcome the challenges of multiple sclerosis and live the best life possible. Learn more and enjoy the interview with Dr. Meral Seferoglu from Bursa, Turkey.

Introduction – Who is Associate Professor Dr. Meral Seferoglu?

Hi thank you for your invitation. I always like to listen podcast on spotify during my way to work. While I saw your LinkedIn profile also start to listen your podcast series. Congratulations for this podcast series. I think it touches many lives far from Germany. It is my pleasure to be here. I am a neurologist focusing on demiyelinating disorders. Married and have two children and a cat. I like reading books, walking, swimming and painting.

Finally, what message of hope or encouragement would you like to share with the listeners?

„Dear MS patients, I wish for you to spend each day with hope and strength. MS may present challenges but remember that your resilience and determination are greater. Together, in solidarity, we can overcome every difficulty. Look to the future with hope, because science and support are advancing every day. You are strong, you are valuable"

How and where can interested people follow your research activities?

I have an Instagram and linked-in account on my name, also with our MS hospital team we have an Instagram page for MS patients: MSYolculugum

Thank you for all your efforts for MS patients and for giving us an insight into the treatment of multiple sclerosis in Turkey.

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