Who are we?

The International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) Africa Region's (IBE-A)'s aim is to improve the social conditions and quality of life of people with epilepsy and those who care for them. IBE-A has a vision of an African continent where everywhere ignorance and fear about epilepsy are replaced by understanding and care. IBE-A's plans are to plan and implement social improvement programmes for people with epilepsy and their families, creating means for Africa-wide exchange of information and, where possible, setting standards which provide an international policy focus and identity for all persons with epilepsy in Africa.
