Multiple Sclerosis is an auto- immune disease. It is a chronic and often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. The mission statement of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is to end the devastating effectuate of multiple sclerosis.

There are othe r parts of Asia such as Japan and India that have MS Societies. MS is also scarce in those areas and their societies are not as large as other chapters of NMSS, but it has been found that they are necessary. The Japanese society has 31 members and about 5000 people who have MS but are not involved in the society. In India the society has approximately 1005 members and 1000 people on record that have MS. (Reference 7)Putting a MS society in Southeastern Asia would be best suited in the country of Singapore. Singapore is a very prosperous country and has many international links.

ConclusionIntroducing the National Multiple Sclerosis Society into Singapore has its good sides and bad. The MS Society could benefit from the prosperous economy of Singapore and government and corporate support, but the factors that may not work are there may not be enough people in Singapore to benefit (not many with MS), also if societies are not exempt from taxes that may lead to financial problems for the society. Charities must(prenominal) incorporate the poor and societies are people who have common ends in this case Multiple Sclerosis. It would be difficult to change the MS society to a charity. It is certainly possible to introduce NMSS to other countries and many already have them. Even though NMSS in Singapore has its down side it might be able to work with some adaptation.ReferencesCIA valet de chambre Fact Book 2000. http//www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/Civicus. http//www.civicus.org/pages/singapihtmlAbout HR. http//www.abouthr.comChangeX Currency Calculator. http//www.numa.comExpatSingapore. http//www.expatsingapore.comNational Multiple Sclerosis Society Fact SheetWorld of Multiple Sclerosis. http//www.ifmss.org.uk/
