United Nations, Jun 21 (UNI) More than seven in 10 people with epilepsy in developing countries are not getting the low-cost care they need, and UN health experts have said this could lead to a “significantly higher” risk of death among sufferers than in industrialized nations.
According to the first global report on epilepsy released on Thursday from the UN World Health Organisation (WHO), this treatment gap exists even though medicines can cost as little as
5 per year, per patient.
