Addressing Africa's biggest neurological disorder.
Grounding Neurons is an initiative focused on tackling the greatly overlooked health crisis of epilepsy in Africa, a disorder that affects more than 25 million individuals in Africa, with 80% living in low to middle-income countries.
Epilepsy is a brain disorder where the brain experiences sudden, unpredictable bursts of electrical activity, commonly leading to seizures.
"I'm from Sudan, a country where issues in healthcare, stigma, and educational programs persist. I aim to bridge the gap in epilepsy treatment, envisioning a brighter future for Africa in achieving healthcare equity with other continents."
