Free healthcare for NMO patients - a rare auto immune disease

The Issue

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a central nervous system disorder that primarily affects the eye nerves (optic neuritis) and the spinal cord (myelitis). NMO is also known as neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder or Devic's disease. It occurs when your body's immune system reacts against its own cells in the central nervous system, mainly in the optic nerves and spinal cord, but sometimes in the brain.

Its so difficult to understand why this happens and hence we need a good research team to find out the right cause and later the cure for NmO. Right now there is no cure for it. 

Its time to give hope to all the NMO patients across India.

We need to request our government to help the patients financially as the treatment is very expensive. Let’s help the world by contributing our bit - a vote for now !
