Epilepsy is a neurological (of the brain) condition and World Brain Day 2024 (WBD 2024) is dedicated to Brain Health and Prevention! The World Federation of Neurology leads this initiative in collaboration among all 6 WFN Regions to Join the mission to champion quality neurology and promote brain health for all. Together, we possess the power to make a difference, ensuring that no one is left behind.

Neurological disorders remain significant contributors to disability-adjusted life years, impacting global health through conditions such as stroke, migraine, Alzheimer's, meningitis, and epilepsy. Encouragingly, a substantial proportion of these cases can be prevented. Notably, 90% of strokes, 40% of dementia cases, and 30% of epilepsies are preventable, with effective preventive measures available for conditions like migraine, headache disorders, and neurological infections.

Join the World Federation of Neurology on Monday, July 22, as we unite to champion Brain Health and Prevention, empowering individuals, communities, and nations to secure their futures and forge a healthier world for generations to come.
