International Bureau for Epilepsy

The International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) is a non-for-profit started in 1961[1] which aims to improve the social condition and quality of life of people with epilepsy[2]. Its members are from both the lay public and a professional background.[3] IBE has a network of 140 chapters in 100 countries[4] and often collaborates with the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) to increase understanding about epilepsy.[5]

The organization along with the World Health Organization and ILAE runs the "Global Campaign Against Epilepsy".[6] This campaign was started in 1997 to increase countries efforts to deal with issues facing those with epilepsy.[7]

Global Chapters

The International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) consists of chapters representing national epilepsy associations globally, organized into seven regional structures.[8]
