Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI)
News, blogs and stories from across the field of dementia, the work of Alzheimer’s Disease International and our members.
After two years of dedicated and persistent advocacy by ADI, dementia will, for the first time, be formally recognised within the new UN Political Declaration on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health, as a leading NCD.
The 78th World Health Assembly has been a whirlwind week for ADI as, after 18-months of advocacy, the World Health Assembly has agreed to extend the Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia by 6-years, to 2031.
Since 2021, Alzheimer’s Society of Maldives has worked tirelessly to address the needs of people with dementia and their carers. Through advocacy, collaboration with ADI, and engagement with the Maldivian government, the organisation is playing a key role in the development of the Maldives’ first National Dementia Plan, which is set for launch this year. This milestone highlights the impact of coordinated efforts to improve dementia care in the country.
