Doha: With February 14 marking International Epilepsy Day, pioneering efforts by Sidra Medicine are gearing towards bringing cure and better management for paediatric patients with epilepsy. 

Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder affecting 50 million people worldwide, according to World Health Organization. It is characterized by seizures and often associated with multiple co-existing brain development disorders, resulting in significant cognitive, psychologic, and social impacts. It is estimated that 70 percent of patients with epilepsy could live seizure-free if diagnosed and treated early.
