“…Studies show that children living with CP (CLWCP) in low-and middle-income countries experience a significantly poorer health-related quality of life and increased mortality rate, high burden of disease with preventable risk factors, and the experience of stigmatization and discrimination [11][12][13][14][15][16]. In Ghana, for example, one study found that the standard mortality rate of children with CP is six times that of the average Ghanaian child without a disability and 15 times that of the average child without a disability in a low-and-middle-income country [17].…”

“…A study from Ghana found that many, if not all, primary caregivers of CLWCPs faced discrimination and neglect from families and their communities, incurred financial hardships, and had difficulty accessing suitable educational and medical facilities for their CLWCP [20]. These poor outcomes point to persistent structural barriers, inadequate healthcare and social services, and limited access to and use of evidence-based interventions, such as assistive technology [11][12][13]. To bridge the inequities, it is critical to examine challenges in the testing, diagnosing, referral, and treatment of CLWCPs in LMICs to inform policy and interventions.…”

“…This eludes into the potential role of antecedents of CP on the proportion of children with epilepsy in CP cohorts. There is a growing body of evidence on the differences in the prevailing risk factors and timing of acquisition of CP among children in low resource settings compared with high income countries 4 16 17. These factors are often associated with varied likelihood of having epilepsy, therefore, further contribute to the wide-ranging reported rates of epilepsy among children with CP globally.…”

“…In low-resource settings, the burden and severity of associated impairments and malnutrition is greater among children with CP, and there are wider gaps in services [8,[31][32][33][34]. There is an overall lack of available intervention to manage secondary musculoskeletal impairments (i.e., hip surveillance programs and use of botox for spasticity management), lack of practice environment for motor skills, limited access to the assistive devices, and poor wheelchair accessibility [6,[35][36][37][38]. The findings from this study reaffirm the need for cautious interpretation of comparisons between LMICs and high-income settings.…”
