History of MSSA
The Multiple Sclerosis Society was founded in 1966 by Dr Geoffrey Dean in Port Elizabeth which eventually lead to the 3 existing branches countrywide. MSSA Western Cape, MSSA Inland and MSSA KZN.

It was bestowed on him largely due to his MS research and the significant role he played in putting South Africa on the MS map. Dr Geoffrey passed away on the 7 September 2009 at the age of 90.
