  • Summary

  • In this episode, MohammadAli Jardaly and I discuss with Dr. Karine Abou Khaled their latest paper titled: "Impact of the socioeconomic crisis in Lebanon on people with epilepsy" published in Epilepsia Open.

    Dr. Abou Khaled is an epilepsy specialist at Hotel Dieu De France and had returned to Lebanon years ago after completing her residency at Drexel University and Columbia University in the US.

    This paper highlights the impact of the economic crisis on access to epilepsy medications. This leads us to gain a deeper understanding of how socioeconomic factors shape health outcomes and access. The decreased access to epilepsy medications and the increased stress levels from the economic crisis and the current war is leading to increased seizure activity among the patients affected and a poor quality of life.

    Tune in to learn about these issues and to learn essential mitigation strategies.
