This video seeks to address some of the misconceptions surrounding this disease, explaining how it is caused, where the burden is highest and the challenges faced by people with epilepsy and their families. It also outlines the WHO Programme on Reducing the Epilepsy Treatment Gap, which supports countries in improving access to treatment, currently inaccessible to 7 out of 10 people living with the disease.
