Exploring the challenges and solutions to epilepsy care in resource-limited settings in Cameroon
In this webinar, Commonwealth Alumnus Mundih Njohjam will discuss the management of epilepsy in resource-limited countries like Cameroon.
Epilepsy is one of the most common disorders affecting the brain worldwide. Globally, about 65 million people are living with epilepsy with at least 75% of those affected living in resource-limited countries.
In this webinar, Mundih will highlight the barriers in treating epilepsy and showcase innovative strategies to improve the diagnosis, treatment, care, and awareness of epilepsy from the community to the clinic in Cameroon.
This webinar will address the CSC development theme, Strengthening health systems and capacity.
The CSC’s Development in Action webinar series provides an opportunity for Commonwealth Scholars and Alumni to present on their work and contribution to development across a range of contemporary global challenges and provide insight into ongoing research and action.
Open to all Commonwealth Scholars and Alumni, the monthly webinars will address one of the CSC’s six development themes and provide an opportunity for attendees to engage in real-time Q&A discussion on the topic presented.
