CareEpilepsy Ethiopia is a non-profit health and advocacy organization dedicated to saving lives of individuals affected by epilepsy and associated conditions including mental health challenges through holistic service that cares for not only the physical, but also the mental, and emotional wellbeing of those we serve, while also providing public education to eradicate stigma. As an advocacy group, we advocate for better epilepsy care and social policies through partnerships with patients, families, and local and international organizations.
Since 2015, we have provided free clinical care, anti-epileptic medication, diagnostics, psychosocial care for patients and their families, increase the number of healthcare workers to treat epilepsy, and fought stigma through community education and advocate for access to care and treatment for epilepsy.
