ABSTRACT
Global Campaign Against Epilepsy conducted the Demonstration Project to improve epilepsy care in rural China from 2000 to 2004. The project involved 5 provinces and 2,455 patients with convulsive epilepsy using phenobarbital monotherapy. Forty percent of the patients were seizure free in one year and another 30% had their seizures decreased by over half. With the support of the central government, the project has currently been extended to cover 12 provinces with 11,000 patients. The long-term plan is to integrate epilepsy management into the existing primary health delivery system of China.
