Young Epilepsy Botswana hosts 10th annual Purple Walk

Set to take place on March 22 ahead of Purple Day in Gaborone, the event aims to raise awareness about epilepsy and the importance of effective treatment in managing seizures. This year’s Purple Walk will be held under the theme, 'Walking for a Purpose, Stand Up for Epilepsy'.

YEB chairperson, Naledi Khan highlights that, “Over the years, there has been a lot of misunderstanding about epilepsy. It is crucial to educate the public on the condition, and to encourage acceptance and adherence to treatment for individuals living with epilepsy and their families".
