International Epilepsy Day 2025: Bassey Akiba Pen down Message
Dear Constituents,
International Epilepsy Day 2025: This is a global observance dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy, breaking the stigma surrounding the neurological condition, and advocating for the rights of those affected.
Millions of individuals worldwide face discrimination, social exclusion, and barriers to essential services due to epilepsy, making this observance crucial in fostering inclusivity and support.
This year’s theme; “My Epilepsy Journey,” encourages people to share their personal experiences with epilepsy, raising awareness, and promoting support for those living with the condition. By sharing their stories, individuals can help drive global change and promote inclusion.
Let us continue to engage in conversations, share knowledge, and support initiatives that promote health equity for all individuals with epilepsy. Together, we can create a community where people with epilepsy are empowered to lead fulfilling lives.
Rep. Bassey Akiba
Member, representing Calabar Municipality/Odukpani Federal Constituency and Deputy Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Healthcare Services
