Challenges in epilepsy management in the Eastern Mediterranean (Part I): Disparities in pharmacological treatment and ketogenic diet access

Abstract

This study reveals critical gaps in epilepsy care in lower-income Middle Eastern countries, particularly in access to emergency and second-line treatments. The findings demonstrate that barriers extend beyond cost to include regulatory and health system structures, providing crucial evidence to inform health policy and advocacy efforts aimed at reducing the global epilepsy treatment gap.
