For a person living with epilepsy, a disability certificate is a key to affordable anti-seizure medication (ASMs), financial tax exemptions, and essential social protection.
A Tale of Two Communities
Ngundu, Kamulu
80 people assessed. We saw a high turnout of children (44% under 18), highlighting the critical need for pediatric epilepsy care in peri-urban areas.
Kariobangi North
156 people assessed. Densely populated with a majority turnout of young adults (18-35). NCPWD registration is vital here to combat chronic medicine shortages.
Why Registration Matters: The Impact
The impact of this exercise goes far beyond the numbers. By the end of the two days, families were empowered through:
- Linking patients to NCPWD-supported medication.
- Breaking stigma by encouraging community visibility.
- Collecting reliable data for government advocacy.
Simplifying the journey: From community assessment to legal certification.
"The certification links beneficiaries directly to essential medication and financial support, promoting inclusion in community life."
Lessons for the Future
Moving forward, we are refining our outreach strategies to reach the elderly and streamlining the medical report verification process with Mama Lucy Hospital and other accredited facilities.
