The International League Against Epilepsy profiled the legal effort to improve health-insurance access for people with epilepsy in India. The report explains how exclusions can make diagnostic tests, surgical evaluation and hospital treatment financially unreachable.
The article places Sanvedana Foundation’s work at the centre of the story. It traces Yashoda Wakankar’s lived experience, the support group she founded in 2004 and the services that grew around counselling, medicine access and marriage support.
The petition argues that blanket exclusion treats a wide spectrum of epilepsy as though every person faces the same risk. It asks that people with epilepsy receive equal consideration under public and private healthcare insurance.
