EAAC4 is here!
EAAC4 will be held on Friday 30 June 2023 via Zoom
The EAA is a young Africa-wide alliance of epilepsy associations that was formed in December 2019.
Each year, the EAA hosts a conference to bring together people working to defeat epilepsy in the African continent and interested parties from across the world. In 2020, the EAA planned as a high-level dialogue meeting that became its first conference.
The conference will be held on 30 June via Zoom.
Through this conference, we hope to bring people together to learn about the work that is being done by advocates and professionals, hear from experts and policymakers and more importantly hear stories of resilience and how people with epilepsy and their families are being impacted.
Who can present, talk or share experience: academics, clinicians, professionals, social workers, organisations, advocates and people with experience of living with epilepsy or caring can all submit an abstract.
Main themes:
1. Medication, treatment and facilities
2. Advocacy, social stigma, myths & marginalisation
3. Rural services
4. Research and publishing
5. Empowerment and education of young people with epilepsy
6. Training and education
