At #CONy2024 in London, ADI CEO Paola Barbarino spoke on the vital importance of both international governmental organisations and national governments to address treatment access issues for those living with #dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. She highlighted a critical issue that many health ministers worldwide do not fully understand the impact of dementia within their countries, a disconnection that can have severe implications to the mental health of people living with dementia and their carers. ADI calls on both international bodies and national governments to make dementia a health priority. More than ever, we need policy makers to step up and ensure that those affected by dementia receive the care they need. https://lnkd.in/e9eVvVtX #DementiaPolicy #TimeToActOnDementia #WhatsYourPlan #ADI

ADI Regional Director for the Americas, Diego Aguilar has arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for C20 Midterm Meeting, taking part in two days of discussions as a member of the Steering Committee. This event follows on from the C20 Inception Meeting held in Recife, Brazil. Since 2013, C20 has been an official engagement group for the G20 that seeks to ensure more balanced dialogues during each G20 summit. Brazil, as host of this year's G20 summit in November will convene 20 of the world's largest economies under the theme of 'Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet'. Aligning with their year as G20 host, Brazil has also recently taken decisive action to help improve the lives of those living with dementia and their carers in the county, with President Lula signing Brazil's first National Dementia Plan into law in June 2024. As part of ADI’s ongoing global action, Diego discussed importance of inclusive and sustainable approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals living with dementia worldwide. #WhatsYourPlan #G20 #C20 #RiodeJaneiro #Brazil #Lula

Yesterday, while the day was just beginning in Europe, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) health cluster meeting was already underway. ADI Regional Director for Asia-Pacific, DY Suharya, addressed the delegation, updating The ASEAN Secretariat member states on ADI's ongoing work in international dementia policy and urged them to join ADI's call for a 10-year extension to the Global Action Plan on dementia. This hybrid meeting, hosted in Myanmar, welcomed 170 representatives from 10 countries in the Southeast Asia region. It served as a crucial platform for directing efforts towards achieving dementia-friendly policies on a national level. In the latest report of the 'From Plan to Impact' series, ADI has highlighted that the number of national dementia plans (NDPs) implemented by WHO member states has stagnated since 2023, remaining at 39. With only four national dementia plans being implemented in the Southeast Asia region, ADI welcomes the positive reception of DY Suharya's intervention at the ASEAN meeting and appreciates ASEAN health cluster’s Chair from Myanmar encouraging all ASEAN members, including Myanmar, to start developing their National Dementia Plans as soon as possible, in light of this growing challenge.
