We offer two services: tele-clinic and nurse training.
Tele-Clinic Service
Expert advice, support and nurse training.
EAA has a Tele-Clinic Service, which uses WhatsApp. If you have a patient who needs to see a Dr virtually, please join the Whatsapp group TeleClinic and seek help. To join the group, first join the EAA Whatsapp Hub and from there join the Tele-Clinic.
Aim of the project
This project has two aims:
- To provide treatment services online to people with epilepsy or other neurological disorders who do not have access to neurologists and other specialized support.
- Specialist experienced doctors providing expert advice to other doctors, clinical officers and nurses to help them deal with difficult and complex cases.
Our tele/online clinic offers free treatment, advice, support and education by experts online to people with epilepsy without access to this service because of unavailability of specialist doctors or because of lack of money to pay for the service. All clinics were attended by Professor Najib Kissani and his team of doctors of Morocco and doctors from other countries. Participation is free.
