Epilepsy is a non-communicable chronic neurological disorder which impacts individuals across all age groups. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), epilepsy affects approximately 50 million individuals globally, making it one of the most prevalent neurological conditions worldwide. Pediatric epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, presents unique challenges for children and their families. In India, where healthcare disparities are prevalent, epilepsy adds an additional layer of burden due to limited access to specialized care and societal stigma. The burden of pediatric epilepsy in India is significant, with thousands of children affected by the condition, yet many cases remain undiagnosed or undertreated due to various factors.
