World Epilepsy Day: Institute Lit in Purple

The Institute of Neurology & Genetics Cyprus (INGK) is celebrating World Epilepsy Day by illuminating its building in purple, symbolizing awareness of the condition. The INGK reaffirms its commitment to supporting people with epilepsy and their families through the services of the Epilepsy Center and the Department of Neurophysiology. The Epilepsy Center, as a collaborating member of the European Reference Network for Epileptic Disorders (ERN-EpiCARE), provides access to specialized treatments and surgeries in European centers. Neuropsychological support and psychosocial care are also provided, as well as special dietary adjustments, such as the ketogenic diet.
