International Epilepsy Day is coming up on the 14th of February 2022 and Ethiopian National Epilepsy Week following until the 20th February 2022. International Epilepsy Day is organized by the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) to provide a platform for people with epilepsy to share their experiences and stories with a global audience.

This event is organized in support of ongoing fundraising, to offer an opportunity for Trek enthusiasts to experience the superb landscape and wilderness of the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia. The specially designed itinerary will take you through stunning mountain scenery, remote villages and abundant wildlife in the Simien Mountains National Park. Our ultimate goal is the summit of Ras Dashen, the highest peak in Ethiopia (4,620m) and the fourth highest in Africa. The trip will also include time in Lalibela, to visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed rock-hewn Churches (known as the ‘8th Wonder of the World’) and in Gondar (‘Africa’s Camelot’) to tour its Castles.

CareEpilepsy Ethiopia is excited to commemorate the 1st ever African Epilepsy Awareness week starting, the 20th-24th of September 2021, as a member of the Epilepsy Alliance Africa Association. The Association is a pan-African alliance of professional leagues of doctors, individuals, families, institutions, organisations, and groups interested in preventing and addressing the challenges caused by epilepsy within the African continent. Zebra stripes will represent the 2021 campaign to show belonging, oneness, strength, shine and visibility. Africa united to defeat epilepsy!

Annually, Epilepsy Alliance Africa holds a conference to promote awareness, improve outcomes for people with epilepsy and eradicate stigma. About this event Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions that is neglected in Africa. This conference session gives a good introduction to epilepsy and the challenges African pateints and clinical caregivers face. It is a great opportunity for those who have contact with people with epilepsy, such as family and friends, those working in education, sports and nurses and doctors with interest in working in Africa. The aim of the conference is to a) Continue to advocate at a strategic level within the ministry of health for the delivery of epilepsy care in a primary health care settings thereby creating access to medical care that is appropriate to patients’ level of need (effective disease management from primary care through to acute level services and support post discharge). b) Campaigning for collective action to include education, employment, women’s, children and youth sectors, on epilepsy rights regionally and nationally, sensitising policy makers and planners to the rights of people with epilepsy. d) Mobilise communities, government ministries, and other organisations to play their role in improving epilepsy service and reducing stigma.

International Epilepsy Day, a joint initiative created by the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), is a global event celebrated annually on the 2nd Monday of February, to promote awareness on epilepsy right around the world.
