This interactive webinar is an opportunity to learn about the Global Epilepsy Needs Study (GENS), which is led by the International Bureau for Epilepsy, and is currently looking at unmet, non-medical needs for people with epilepsy in 15 countries across the world, including Tunisia.

Participants will discuss their views on the similarities and differences of unmet needs of people with epilepsy in their respective countries, as well as how tools like IGAP and the GENS results may help advocacy efforts to improve the quality of life for families affected by epilepsy in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
