Epilepsy is a common and relatively treatable condition; about two thirds of people with it can have their seizures reduced using available medicines which are usually not excessively expensive[1]. When seizures continue, particularly if they are convulsive, people with epilepsy (PWE) are exposed to significant risks. They are up to six times more likely to die prematurely than people without epilepsy[2,3]. Burns and fractures are much more common. And very importantly, they, and their families, are subject to significant social stigma from the communities in which they live[4]; this may affect many factors in their lives from education to marriage.
