Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide, affecting around 50 million people, yet in South Africa it remains underdiagnosed, misunderstood and severely stigmatised. Dr James Butler, Executive Board Member of the Neurological Association of South Africa, chats to Leigh-Anne Williams about how the Neurological Association of South Africa (NASA) says up to 70% of people living with epilepsy could live seizure-free if properly diagnosed and treated. He shares more about how in South Africa, while the Constitution addresses health rights, there is no specific mention of epilepsy or neurological disorders, and reflects the ongoing need for recognition, treatment access and public education.
