Bridging the Treatment Gap: Expanding Epilepsy Care in Kenya
Epilepsy affects 1% of the global population, with the highest rates in sub-Saharan Africa. In Kenya, a groundbreaking study led by Dr. Jane von Gaudecker aims to expand access to epilepsy care in low-resource settings through task-sharing and technology. Supported by a $2.4 million grant, the BEACON project will train healthcare workers and implement a digital record system to improve care in rural communities.
