Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that frequently results in enduring some level of disability. The rights of individuals affected by MS exhibit a nuanced and multifaceted character, extending beyond the purview of purely healthcare legislation. Assistive technologies (ATs) significantly improve the quality of life of that category of patients. To ensure MS patients’ rights, Azerbaijan health law is closely intertwined with disability law and state social security, which also includes ATs provision. The legislation of Azerbaijan in the context of ensuring the rights of MS patients is quite progressive and covers many issues, including the right to get free medicines, ATs, and recreation. The recent inclusion of some medications for MS on the WHO list of essential medicines (EML) creates the basis for further improvement of legislation in the field of treatment of this category of patients. This paper discusses MS treatment and related legislation within the framework of Azerbaijan health law.
