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.
This September our global community has come together once again to partake in worldwide awareness-raising campaigns around dementia and Alzheimer’s. From Bermuda to Zimbabwe to Scotland and Sri Lanka, ADI’s member organisations have hosted powerful community events and have encouraged people all over the world to ask about dementia, and ask about Alzheimer’s. Some of ADI’s World Alzheimer's Month activities included the launch of the 2025 World Alzheimer Report and a side event co-hosted with the WHO at the United Nations General Assembly ahead of the 4th High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases.
1 September marks the beginning of World Alzheimer’s Month. This year, we are raising awareness and encouraging our global network and beyond to ask more questions about dementia.
