International Epilepsy Day

International Epilepsy Day is today, February 9, 2015.  It falls on the second Monday of February each year.  It was conceived in partnership between the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE).  Establishing this day of international epilepsy awareness is the first step in addressing this serious
health issue.

On their website you can access Regional Reports on the state of epilepsy in the various areas of the world:  Europe, Africa, Eastern Mediterranean, Latin America, South East Asia, Western Pacific region.


I did not see a report for Latin America, South America, or North America on that page.  However, here is a link to a separate report about Latin America in Spanish.
