International Epilepsy Day Is February 14

MCI Group supports the epilepsy community around the world by recognizing International Epilepsy Day. In 2022 International Epilepsy Day falls on Valentine’s Day, Monday, February 14. We have worked in this therapeutic area for quite some time and hope by continually raising awareness of the disease we can make a difference to the 65 million people in the world who are living with epilepsy.

International Epilepsy Day, a joint initiative created by the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), is a global event celebrated annually on the 2nd Monday of February, to promote awareness on epilepsy right around the world. With IBE and ILAE representation in more than 140 countries, this is a powerful opportunity to highlight the problems faced by people with epilepsy, their families, and caregivers in every region of the world.

International Epilepsy Day celebrations vary from region to region, with cultural, geographical, and climatic circumstances impacting activities. 

The common thread is the desire to highlight epilepsy and bring attention to the need for better awareness and understanding, appropriate legislation, improved diagnosis and treatment services, and increased research to better the lives of all those affected by epilepsy.
