The 123rd HGPI Seminar - The Current Situation and Future Prospects for Epilepsy in Japan and Around the World

Epilepsy is estimated to affect approximately 1 million people in Japan, it has a high prevalence among cranial nerve diseases, and is well-known among the public. However, much of the information about epilepsy is mistaken, meaning it is often misunderstood.

For the upcoming 123rd HGPI Seminar, we will host Professor Kensuke Kawai, President of the Japan Epilepsy Society. Professor Kawai will discuss current circumstances surrounding epilepsy in Japan and overseas as well as take a look at past developments in and future prospects for epilepsy policy. Together with all participants, we would like to take this opportunity to consider the current situation and future challenges in this area.

*Please note that this seminar is available in Japanese only. An English report of this event will be published in due course.
