International Epilepsy Day

When is the International Epilepsy Day in South Africa?

12 February 2024

International Epilepsy Day, celebrated each year on the 2nd Monday of February, is an opportunity to raise awareness of epilepsy, what it is, how it can be treated, and what is needed to bring treatment to all people who need it.

Why is epilepsy day called Purple Day?

About Purple Day

Cassidy picked purple to represent this day because lavender is internationally recognised as the flower for epilepsy.

The theme this year is: ‘Milestones on My Epilepsy Journey’.

International Epilepsy Day is an annual awareness-raising initiative organised by the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).

International Epilepsy Day is now more important than ever.

CityMed Day Hospital in Bloemfontein

In 1995, CityMed Day Hospital in Bloemfontein was established. Its vision was to make private health care more affordable and therefore more accessible to more South Africans.

The cost of private health care in South Africa is rising and shows no sign of decreasing anytime soon. Medical inflation also plays a role in spiralling health costs. That is why medical aids and private patients prefer to make use of a day hospital.

Day hospitals manage to keep costs down by offering minor surgical procedures, which do not require an overnight stay. In other words, patients only pay for what they need – not for the overhead costs to keep a hospital in operation.

CityMed Day Hospital offers comfortable, clean surroundings where patients are taken care of by trained, professional staff members. The hospital is a member of the Day Hospital Association of South Africa (DHASA). All procedures are performed by skilled specialists, registered at the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HCPSA).

Trust us to take care of you, your family and your pocket!
