Epilepsy treatment: Bridging the gap

In my final round of Epilepsy Awareness visits for schools and community groups, I had become familiar with the question “Je kifafa ina tiba?” (Is Epilepsy curable?). The question would come immediately I was introduced to speak. A clear impression of a people who already know what epilepsy is, their concern is just whether the condition is curable. The knowledge and experience of epilepsy is profoundly culturally mediated and the meanings attributed to the condition can have a great impact on its social course.
