Oumaima's story - Morocco

Oumaima Benyaich, 36, is from Tetouan, Morocco. She lives with her mother and her 8-year-old daughter and works as an administrative clerk in a hotel. She started getting MS symptoms in 2004 when she was 18 and was diagnosed one year later. Previously she has taken on-label DMTs but was encouraged to switch to rituximab, an off-label drug that is more commonly used to treat cancer, after seeing the results of the research led by Professor Belahsen at Hassan II University Hospital in Fez.
