Dementia affects 35.6 million people worldwide with an average of 7.7 million new cases each year. The numbers of cases are expected to double every 20 years. The costs associated with dementia are estimated at US $ 604 billion per year.
Dementiaware is an organization to raise the awareness of the disease in low- and middle-income countries around the world by working with governments on national campaigns, go into communities to educate the people about the disease and facilitate the life of caregivers. It is important that the stigma associated with the disease is being broken. |
