WHO has today published a new implementation toolkit to the Intersectoral global action plan on epilepsy and other neurological disorders (IGAP), outlining specific actions and resources for countries to improve services for people with neurological disorders in preparation for meeting IGAP’s targets for 2031.

Neurological conditions are the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide. Provision of services for these conditions is insufficient, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Worldwide, people living with neurological disorders and associated disabilities continue to have difficulties accessing treatment and rehabilitation, and many also experience discrimination and human rights violations.
