South African doctors performed two free epilepsy surgeries Feb. 21, 2026, under a new program to improve access to treatment.
On February 21, 2026, South African doctors from public and private sectors performed two free epilepsy surgeries at Groote Schuur Hospital, part of the Rise program aiming to create regular, accessible surgical care for drug-resistant epilepsy in public hospitals.
The initiative, addressing long wait times in a strained health system, offers life-changing treatment to patients who had waited up to two years.
Supported by pro bono expertise and nonprofit funding, the surgeries target a condition affecting hundreds of thousands in South Africa, where stigma, shortages, and access barriers persist.
