صحة الدماغ والصرع لدى الأطفال | أبرز محطات الفعالية

تحت شعار «معًا نحو طفولة أكثر وعيًا وأمانًا»، أُقيمت يوم السبت الموافق 31 أكتوبر 2026، بمدرسة الصداقة بالدقي – القاهرة، فعالية توعوية وتثقيفية حول صحة الدماغ والصرع لدى الأطفال.

جاءت الفعالية بمشاركة المستشارية الطبية بسفارة جمهورية السودان بالقاهرة، وبالتعاون مع مؤسسة داؤود للأبحاث (Daoud Research Foundation) ومبادرة Family Care.

استهدفت الفعالية الطلاب وأولياء الأمور والمعلمين، من خلال تعزيز الوعي بصحة الدماغ لدى الأطفال، والتعريف بالصرع، وتصحيح المفاهيم الخاطئة المرتبطة به، مع تسليط الضوء على أهمية التعرف المبكر على النوبات، والتقييم الطبي المناسب، وطرق التعامل السليم مع الطفل أثناء حدوث النوبة.

وتأتي هذه المبادرة في إطار دعم التثقيف الصحي المجتمعي، وتعزيز الشراكات المؤسسية، والمساهمة في بناء بيئة أكثر وعيًا وأمانًا واحتواءً للأطفال المصابين بالصرع.

🧠 LET’S UNDERSTAND EPILEPSY
Because awareness begins with knowledge.
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Seizures can appear in different forms, including involuntary movements and convulsions, staring episodes, temporary loss of awareness, or brief changes in sensations and behavior.
What is important to know?
Epilepsy is NOT contagious.
Not every seizure means a person has epilepsy.
Epilepsy does NOT mean intellectual disability.
Many people with epilepsy can achieve good seizure control with appropriate treatment and medical follow-up.
💜 Don’t judge what you don’t understand. Learn, understand, and spread awareness.
