March 16-17
WHO will be hosting its first Ministerial Conference on Global Action against Dementia on March 16 and 17. Ministers, research experts, clinical and NGO communities will be arriving in Geneva to participate in the first of its kind meet to discuss global problems posed by dementia. The conference aims to raise awareness on the socio-economic burden created by dementia, and to highlight that the burden can be reduced if the world collectively committed to placing dementia high on the global public health agenda, the WHO said. The conference is supported by the Department of Health of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
