  • Improving the Future of Epileptic Patients

    Mireille Cayreyre, Sanofi Aventis
    Sanofi

    Epilepsy is not a cause of significant mental impediments. Nevertheless, it is often falsely perceived as a mental disorder in developing countries. Although epilepsy is not fatal, patients who do not receive treatment will experience serious difficulties over their lifetime. In addition to the disease being a handicap in daily life and work, over time, people with epilepsy face social marginalization or even exclusion. In turn, the social group itself is deprived of their economic and social contributions. To address this disease in developing countries, all of these factors need to be taken into account. Sanofi-aventis, as a leader in the global pharmaceutical industry, is thus providing developing countries not only facilitated access to its quality medicines, but also a large number of health services that respond to their specific needs.
