Our Mission, Vision  &  Objectives:

The stigma associated with Epilepsy in Hong Kong is out of proportion and results in public prejudice, misunderstanding, and fear as most people do not know what to do when they witness a seizure.  This means that in Hong Kong, those who are affected by Epilepsy are forced to live in silence for fear they are discriminated against professionally and socially. We know of many cases where misunderstanding and misinformation have lead to unnecessary injuries and traumatic experiences for those with    epilepsy

Our Mission: Is to widen opportunities and choices for people affected by epilepsy and to raise awareness of epilepsy issues in all sectors of the community.  

Our Vision: Is that people with epilepsy will achieve greater control of their lives through adequate levels of support and will be given equal opportunities in our society.
