WHO's Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia

The WHO's Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia outlines a strategic approach to improve care, support, and awareness for people living with dementia and their families worldwide. It encourages countries to develop policies, strengthen health and social services, promote research, and foster public understanding. The goal is to ensure early diagnosis, reduce stigma, and enhance quality of life through coordinated efforts across health, social, and community sectors. In essence, it provides a roadmap for tackling dementia as a growing public health challenge with comprehensive, equitable, and sustainable strategies.
