CareEpilepsy Ethiopia is a pioneering non-profit dedicated to transforming epilepsy care in Ethiopia. Founded by Enat Yewnetu—a global advocate, public health expert, and person living with epilepsy—the organization was born from lived experience and a powerful mission: to make epilepsy visible and treatable in a healthcare system that too often overlooks it.
Since 2015, we’ve delivered vital services including clinical care, anti-epileptic medication, EEG and MRI diagnostics, psychosocial support, and professional training for nurses, health officers, and educators. We also run community outreach programs and raise awareness to break the stigma surrounding epilepsy.
Beyond care, we drive systemic change through advocacy and partnerships with families, policymakers, and global health leaders—ensuring epilepsy is recognized as a public health priority in Ethiopia.
