Steven C. Schachter, MD, received a special honor in India when he delivered the 28th T.S. Srinivasan Endowment Oration in Chennai on “Brainstorms Village-Meeting the Challenge of Disabling Epilepsy.”
Quoted in India’s national newspaper, The Hindu, Dr. Schachter said, "India is in a unique position to show the way forward in optimising quality of life for persons with epilepsy". During his speech, Dr. Schachter highlighted the work of the Epilepsy Therapy Project in the United States and the efforts of its co-founder, Warren Lammert.
Venu Srinivasan, who is chairman and managing director, Sundaram Clayton, and TVS Motor Company, gave Dr. Schachter a medal and scroll. The T.S. Srinivasan Charitable Trust supports ongoing efforts in India to improve the quality of life of persons with epilepsy.
In addition to his work at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Dr. Schachter is Editor-in-Chief of epilepsy.com and Epilepsy & Behavior, and first vice-president of the American Epilepsy Society. We present here a link to the article. / Rita Watson
