The country faces a critical shortage of neurologists, and the gap is especially acute for specialists with expertise in multiple sclerosis (MS). Current figures show New Zealand has roughly one neurologist for every 77,000 people, a ratio that starkly contrasts with Australia’s one neurologist per 30,000 people.International research predicts that neurological diseases will become the leading cause of death in this country by 2040, surpassing cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

It takes 13 to 15 years to train a specialist, so NZ needs to be training more people now.During the luncheon, guests will have the exciting opportunity to participate in a silent auction featuring an impressive selection of items.
