Patients in western Kenya now have access to a groundbreaking treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy after the introduction of vagus nerve stimulation during a neurosurgery camp in Kisumu. The procedure, offered at Aga Khan Hospital, marks a significant step in treating epilepsy cases that have not responded to traditional medications. The Kisumu Neuroscience Initiative, which organized the camp, is expanding access to advanced neurosurgical services in the region. The treatment involves stimulating the vagus nerve to reduce seizure frequency, offering hope to patients who previously had limited options. The initiative continues to provide a range of specialized treatments, aiming to improve neurological care in Kenya.
