Dr. Richard Idro, a consultant pediatrician and pediatric neurologist of Mulago Hospital in Uganda, gives an overview of epilepsy and urges teachers to get involved. "As the class teacher, encourage children with epilepsy to take their antiepileptic medication as prescribed and if this is on a thrice daily schedule, check that the lunch time dose is taken. Talk about epilepsy in the class with other children and encourage them not to fear to play with the affected child. In case of a seizure, they should quickly call for help. Children with epilepsy can engage in all activities as other children." Awareness and education are key to breaking down the stigma.
