World Brain Day 2021: Theme, History And Significance 

World Brain Day 2021: The day is dedicated to raising awareness about brain health. The theme of this year's World Brain Day is "Stop Multiple Sclerosis", which entails raising global awareness about multiple sclerosis.

World Brain Day is dedicated to raising awareness and promoting advocacy related to brain health. It is celebrated on July 22. This year, the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) and MS International Federation (MSIF) are at the forefront, leading the campaign to spread awareness about multiple sclerosis (MS), a neurological disease whose effects range from cognitive impairment to significant physical disability. The day was first observed in 2014 and this is the eighth World Brain Day. As part of the campaign this year, the two bodies - WFN and MSIF - have urged those with MS, their family members and health experts and the public to join hands and raise awareness about the ways to stop multiple sclerosis.  Professor Tissa Wijerante, Chair, the WFN World Brain Day committee said that someone in the world receives the life-altering diagnosis of multiple sclerosis every five minutes. "To support those living with MS and their carers, we have ignited a global campaign to educate the public on this neurological disease," Wijerante said in a statement.  Theme
