International Epilepsy Day is a special event which promotes the awareness of epilepsy around the globe. Every year on the second Monday of February people join together to celebrate and highlight the problems faced by people with epilepsy, their families and carers. We are joined by Dr. Chris Nathaniel who is the Medical Head of Specialty Care at Novartis South Africa. he chats to us about the what epilepsy is, epilepsy in pregnancy and the steps you should take if someone has a seizure.
