Epilepsy is a major public health problem in developing countries. In addition to the high prevalence of epilepsy in some regions, there is an acute shortage of trained personnel, clinical equipment, and antiepileptic drugs. As a result of these problems, most patients do not have access to adequate treatment. Despite wake-up calls from the WHO, LICE, and BIE in 2001 using the slogan "Bring epilepsy out of the shadows", few national epilepsy control programs have been implemented in developing countries. Nevertheless reports describing several recent pilot projects have demonstrated that effective screening and management of the disease is feasible through primary health care systems. Phenobarbital should be the first choice for treatment of epilepsy in developing countries.
