Our goal is to enhance the care of persons living with epilepsy in Tanzania by improving access to care and appropriate testing. Our first steps have been to work with local partners to train technologists in the performance of EEGs. To that end we have provided equipment and training. We have weekly remote training sessions and are now conducting annual EEG and Epilepsy Workshops at Muhimbili National Hospital.
