About the Society

A scientific society under the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties

The Society was established as a scientific home for every healthcare practitioner working with people living with epilepsy in Saudi Arabia.

The Society began as an initiative by consultant neurologists who recognised the need for a specialised Saudi scientific reference in epilepsy.
