In September, coinciding with Dementia and Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, the MDFA focused on the theme “Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer’s: Pathways to Care, Support & Dignity.”
The session brought together seasoned experts who provided valuable insights on dementia, highlighting approaches to prevention, care, and advocacy. Discussions culminated in a dynamic panel conversation, where diverse voices, including professionals, caregivers, and representatives of Older Persons Organizations — shared practical solutions and lived experiences.
This forum not only enhanced awareness but also emphasized the urgency of strengthening support systems for older persons and their caregivers in the context of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
