Health authorities from the countries of the Americas agreed to make epilepsy a priority issue and to strengthen the health sector response to the disorder, with a focus on primary health care for the next ten years (2011 to 2021). A strategy and plan of action on epilepsy was collectively prepared by PAHO and a team of more than thirty mental health experts of the Region, with the active support and participation of the ILAE, IBE and the WHO in Geneva.
The delegations from the Member States of PAHO officially approved in Washington on September 29th, 2011 the Strategy and Plan of Action on Epilepsy during the 51st Directing Council. A PAHO/IBE/ILAE Joint task force was established in order to develop the strategy.
