MS petition delivered to parliament asking for new treatments

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 26 July 2022

Multiple Sclerosis New Zealand is delivering a private petition to Parliament today to ask them to green light a proven treatment for MS.

They say the stem cell treatment is readily available overseas and has garnered remarkable results, so it's time for our Government to "get a move on"

Multiple Sclerosis New Zealand president Neil Woodhams talks to Jesse about what they're asking for and why there's been such a delay in access to these treatments.
