ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of the Encephalitis Podcast, Prav speaks with neurologist Dr. Aline Matos about the development of global training modules designed to help clinicians diagnose and treat encephalitis -especially in low-resource settings.
They explore why encephalitis is often missed or misdiagnosed, the life-changing consequences of delayed diagnosis, and how these practical modules empower clinicians to act even with limited tools.
Dr Matos says 'Encephalitis does not end when the acute phase ends. The long-term sequelae, cognitive behaviour, social are often invisible but deeply impactful. So improving and saving lives care is not only about saving lives, as we said earlier, it is about preserving lives.'
