In addition to her leadership role in epilepsy care in Zambia’s rural Southern Province, she has developed and implemented epilepsy care materials appropriate for non-physician healthcare workers including the World Health Organization’s first edition Mental Health Gap Action Programme and Where There is No Neurologist funded by Lancet.
She helped establish EEG Labs in tertiary care centers in Zambia and Malawi, rural hospitals in regions with high epilepsy burden and the private sector, and provides support as an EEG reader to many of these facilities on an ongoing basis. Her research has received 25 years of continuous support from the US National Institutes of Health and includes neuroprotective clinical trials aimed at reducing the burden of post-malaria epilepsy.
