Dementia is a global issue, and around the world communities and governments are rising to meet the challenge. One sees hope that the families and patients who have been dealing with dementia related issues will now get greater support.
India needs more initiatives in this area. What needs to change first is society's attitude towards dementia. In London an international dementia summit is to be held on the 11th of December. I plan to tune into the proceedings online and watch. Do find time to take a look. Learn about dementia and understand how you, your family and community need to be involved. |
