The 17 SDGs are integrated<\/a>, as they recognize that interventions in one area will affect the results of others and that development must balance environmental, economic and social sustainability.<\/p>\n

Everyone is necessary to achieve these ambitious goals. The creativity, knowledge, technology and financial resources of the whole society are needed to achieve the SDGs in each context.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the world health organization, in its publication, EPILEPSY: A PUBLIC HEALTH IMPERATIVE<\/a>,\u00a0states in its preamble literally the following:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”2\/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\u201cIf we want to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to health, it is imperative that we redouble global efforts to address epilepsy.

\u201cEpilepsy carries a high risk of disability, psychiatric comorbidity, social isolation and premature death. Around the world, people with epilepsy and their families suffer stigmatization and discrimination. Many children with epilepsy do not go to school and adults are denied work, the right to drive or to get married. The human rights violations suffered by people with epilepsy worldwide are unacceptable. \u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”medium_depth” column_border_radius=”10px” width=”1\/1″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”16332″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]The MJN project is aligned, both with the objectives of the SDGs, and with the demands made by WHO in its publication and which are closely linked to the double mission of MJN.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, thanks to our technological solution, we intend to improve the quality of life of people suffering from epilepsy by improving the emotional impact of eliminating uncertainty in the lives of these people and eliminating the risk of accidents due to unforeseen crises. It should be noted that 50% of people with drug-resistant epilepsy suffer from depression and \/ or anxiety. On the other hand, MJN aims to improve social inclusion, access to the labor market, school inclusion, stigma reduction, and increased social knowledge, of a disease that affects more than 1% of the world’s population.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For all these reasons, the MJN team works so that our project is aligned and that all our actions are destined to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n
