With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to affect more people and more countries each day, it is vital that work and support continues for people living with dementia and their carers. As result, ADI brings to you a timely and important video presentation on the continuity of care for people living with dementia during the COVID-19 outbreak.
ADI is extremely grateful to Prof Huali Wang, Executive Vice President of ADI’s member association in China, Alzheimer’s Disease Chinese (ADC), for recording this short presentation which has global relevance. Over the last few month, Professor Wang and colleagues have experienced first-hand the challenges and responses to dementia care during the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Paola Barbarino, Chief Executive of ADI, is calling on the solidarity of the community that supports and is focussed on dementia at this time.
