Powerful words from Taurai Kadzviti #PurpleDay
cgepilepsy.bsky.social Centre for Global Epilepsy @cgepilepsy.bsky.social · Mar 26
“We have had situations where the doctor knows all...but you will find that I am the storyteller of my life and my journey.”

This #PurpleDay we spoke with Taurai Kadzviti about the challenges people with epilepsy face in Zimbabwe and his hopes for the future.

Today is International #EpilepsyDay

🌍 50 million people worldwide live with #epilepsy
⚠️ 85% lack access to accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment

We must work together to close the diagnostic and treatment gaps and improve the lives of people affected by epilepsy across the globe
