Epilepsy South Africa recently announced a significant milestone in its commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Epilepsy South Africa team, branches, and IGAP Champions, the organization released translated versions of the Intersectoral Global Action Plan (IGAP) booklet in Sesotho, IsiXhosa, and Afrikaans.
The IGAP booklet, a crucial resource in the epilepsy community, is now available for download in these additional languages. This initiative is aimed at better serving and supporting individuals with epilepsy and their families throughout South Africa.
Epilepsy, a neurological condition impacting individuals in diverse ways, can have profound effects on social and psychological well-being. The translated IGAP Booklet acts as a comprehensive guide, providing a platform for individuals to comprehend the global epilepsy community’s focus on creating an inclusive society for all those affected by epilepsy and other neurological conditions.
Highlighting the lived experiences, challenges, and aspirations of individuals with epilepsy worldwide, the IGAP is a powerful tool that offers support, guidance, and a roadmap for moving forward. By engaging and demystifying this neurological condition, the IGAP addresses the critical need for awareness and understanding.
In these translated publications, Epilepsy South Africa includes vital information about the IGAP and guidelines for managing epilepsy, presented in accessible home languages for many South Africans. This initiative aims to bridge communication gaps and ensure that the wealth of information within the IGAP booklet is available to a broader audience, fostering a more informed and empowered epilepsy community.
