The Sumaira Foundation is a global nonprofit patient advocacy organization dedicated to raising awareness of rare neuroimmune conditions, building communities of support for patients and their caregivers, supporting research and advocating on behalf of patients. We are truly patient-led, patient-powered, science-driven, evidence-based and therapy-agnostic. This organization was founded in 2014 by Sumaira just two months after getting diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
