EPILEPSY INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED

Mission Statement

Considering 80% of people with Epilepsy reside in resource-poor, developing countries, Epilepsy care in these regions remains limited and the majority of individuals with Epilepsy go untreated. Furthermore, access to essential equipment used to treat and diagnose patients, such as EEG machines or CT scanners, can be limited and scarce in rural villages or urban slums in developing nations. Thus, a primary objective of Epilepsy International is to combat the negative stigma and misinformation about Epilepsy in these regions of the world. Check out the video below produced by the World Health Organization that speaks more about Epilepsy disparities.
