KEMRI SERU Approval Granted: A Major Milestone for Our Innovation in Epilepsy Support Research

NeuroReach Africa announcement poster: “Big news! KEMRI SERU approval granted” — 9 September 2026. Our research on Innovation in Epilepsy Support has received approval from the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Scientific and Ethics Review Unit (SERU), supporting caregivers, advancing innovation and improving lives.

🚨 This is big. NeuroReach Africa has reached another milestone: our research on Innovation in Epilepsy Support has officially received approval from the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Scientific and Ethics Review Unit (SERU), granted on 9th September 2026.

KEMRI SERU is one of the most rigorous scientific and ethics review bodies on the continent. This approval means our study design, our safeguarding of participants and our use of digital tools have all been independently reviewed and cleared to national research standards. It is a powerful validation of a community-driven, multidisciplinary approach built with patients, caregivers and health workers of every cadre.

This is a step closer to transforming epilepsy support, empowering caregivers and exploring innovative solutions for African communities — and it lays the groundwork for evidence that can travel well beyond Kenya.

💜 A call for funding. The approval is secured. Now we need your support to take this research from paper to impact.

✨ Fund our research — every contribution moves the study into communities where the epilepsy treatment gap is widest.

✨ Partner with us — we welcome funders, universities, NGOs, professional bodies and digital health teams who share our community-first values.

✨ Help us bridge the epilepsy treatment gap — up to two million Kenyans live with epilepsy, and most still do not receive the care they need.

Research. Innovation. Community Impact. Together, we are bridging gaps and building hope. 💜
