Epilepsy Awareness Day, observed every March 26, highlights the importance of spreading knowledge about epilepsy to dispel misconceptions and reduce the stigma associated with seizures. This awareness is a key step in empowering communities, helping them provide better care, support individuals during seizures, and foster inclusiveness.

"Knowledge empowers communities to provide better care, offer assistance during seizures, and create a more inclusive and compassionate environment," emphasize organizers of the awareness initiative. The day's activities stress the importance of understanding and education to improve the quality of life for those affected by epilepsy.
