Almost a year after the World Health Organisation declared Dementia including Alzheimer's Disease as a Non-Communicable Disease, the WHO is all set to declare it as a Global Health Crisis, urging governments across the world to make it a health priority. For India this declaration is crucial, given that 90 per cent of the cases go undetected.
This blog is made to share news on Alzheimer’s Disease in India. To raise awareness among the population in and from India, inform people of the resources they may have in their country and about actions taken by organizations. Also, it aims to support families and caregivers there to cope with this disease; help researchers worldwide and advocates in collecting datas and infos, develop views on the local Public Health Policy toward the affected elderly population in India.
