World Alzheimer's Day

World Alzheimer's Day is an annual event observed on 21st September to raise awareness about Alzheimer's and dementia. The theme for this year's World Alzheimer's Disease is 'Remember Me' which highlights the importance of early detection and diagnosis of dementia. Globally two out of three people have little or no understanding of Alzheimer's in their countries. The stigmatization and misinformation that surrounds dementia remains a problem and requires global action.
