Health care delivery model in epilepsy to reduce treatment gap: World Health Organization study from a rural tribal population of India
Epilepsy Research, 04/28/09
Nizamie SH et al. - A four-staged program in epilepsy treatment delivery model was successful. Voluntary health workers from the community can be effectively trained to identify cases and persuade them to seek treatment. The delivery model should include intensive health awareness campaign, training of doctors and other health care providers, free supply of AEDs (Antiepileptic drugs), continuous follow-up for compliance and side-effects of the drug and tactful dealing with indigenous practitioners and faith healers without antagonising them.
