The Province of Iloilo is recognized as Epilepsy Friendly Province by the Philippine League Against Epilepsy for supporting the “One Nation for Epilepsy” Project’s vision to promote and protect the rights, health, and well-being of persons with epilepsy.
Governor Arthur Defensor, Jr., said the province has been working with the league for quite a while to address this often overlooked issue.
“Because of this partnership, nahatagan naton attention ang epilepsy together with the Philippine League Against Epilepsy,” said Defensor.
The Iloilo Provincial Health Office received the accolade during the 23rd National Epilepsy Awareness Week Celebration on September 1, 2023, at SM City, Mandurriao, Iloilo City.
