Yogyakarta, 10 November 2026 — The international Visiting Professor Programme continued at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta, where Prof. Arjune Sen, Professor of Global Epilepsy at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, delivered a presentation on epilepsy care and its clinical challenges.
The session provided an opportunity for healthcare professionals and international researchers to exchange perspectives on the diagnosis, management, and long-term care of patients with epilepsy, particularly in the context of stroke-related neurological complications.
Epilepsy remains an important concern in neurological care, especially among patients who develop seizures following a stroke. Early recognition, appropriate clinical assessment, and continuity of care are essential considerations in supporting patient recovery and improving long-term health outcomes.
Prof. Sen’s presentation contributed to the broader discussion on advancing neurological services through clinical expertise, evidence-based approaches, and international knowledge exchange. The session also provided an opportunity to consider challenges encountered in everyday clinical practice and potential areas for improving epilepsy care in different healthcare settings.
The presentation formed part of the academic visit to Bethesda Hospital, bringing together representatives from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), Bethesda Hospital, and international research partners from the United Kingdom and Vietnam.
Through the Digital Twin for Stroke Care Network, the collaboration seeks to connect clinical knowledge with research and emerging digital technologies, including opportunities to improve the identification and monitoring of neurological complications following stroke.
The visit also encouraged further discussions on potential joint research, clinical knowledge exchange, and sustainable collaboration between healthcare institutions in Indonesia and international academic partners.
Prof. Sen’s participation highlighted the importance of international clinical collaboration in strengthening epilepsy management and advancing patient-centred neurological care.
