The Epilepsy Foundation of Guyana (EFG) is an association of physicians, health professionals, and allied- and para-health professionals and other persons of any sort – including epileptics themselves - in Guyana, committed to promoting the equal health care access for people living with epilepsy in Guyana and the rights of people suffering from seizures, especially in the areas of health, education and employment. The general objective of the EFG is to improve how people with epilepsy are perceived, accepted and valued in Guyana; ensure that they get the best medical treatment and medication available, and that this is done in an affordable way; and help people with epilepsy/seizures to be able to participate as fully as possible in all life experiences.

I had my first seizure when I was 15 at a church. An ambulance was called, and CPR was done on me. Months after missing school and sports I was finally diagnosed with epilepsy. With the amazing work of doctors, my seizures have been controlled. I have limits, but I still play sports and live my life. It has been challenging but I have overcome it by talking to God and my faith. Don’t give up. You're a strong person, so don’t let anyone tell you differently. We are all in this together!
