This is a survey by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE)-Young Epilepsy Section (YES) Asian-Oceanian group. This study targets clinicians involved in the  management of people with epilepsy, aiming to explore the current practices in referral for epilepsy surgery in the Asian-Oceanian region.  This is a short survey with 20 questions and will only take about 10 minutes of your time. This will help us to understand the referral gaps, which contribute significantly to the underutilization of epilepsy surgeries in our region.

The survey has been approved by Institutional Ethics Committee of Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai, India.
