Learning to live with epilepsy as a nurse in South Africa


"Registered nurse Tamara Moyo (center) shares her personal story of learning to live with epilepsy after being diagnosed in 2022 to encourage and inform others about this neurological condition, which affects one in every 100 people in South Africa, representing approximately half a million South Africans based on a total estimated population of 52 million."

“I’m telling my story in the hope that someone will find encouragement in learning to live with their epilepsy because it is not an easy road.
