今天标志着7Th世界阿尔茨海默氏症的月份- 全球提高痴呆症意识和挑战污名的运动。今年,我们想强调全球健康流行病的巨大规模,以及在全球有5000万人的痴呆症患者背后,有一个声音,故事,家人和朋友也是如此做作的。患痴呆症的人数每三秒钟就会增加一次。因此,今年竞选活动的口号是“每3秒钟”。

阿尔茨海默氏病国际疾病(ADI)和我们的世界各地的成员继续面临上坡挑战。自世界卫生组织(WHO)地标采用以来已经一年了全球公共卫生对痴呆症2017-2025的行动计划,但是现在比以往任何时候都需要强大的全球倡导,以确保政府执行和资助国家痴呆症计划。到2025年,WHO目标的146个国家痴呆计划的进展一直很慢。如果我们要在解决污名和支持痴呆症的人们方面取得真正的进步,我们需要every政府提高人们对痴呆症诊断的认识和获取。

政府将直接感受到以痴呆症为重点的公共卫生和社会护理政策的好处 - 仅2018年痴呆症的经济成本就是1万亿美元,这一数字估计到2030年是一倍。目前有痴呆症的5000万人及其家人(预计到2050年,他们的家人都将呈指数增长到1.52亿。

这个世界阿尔茨海默氏症的月份,,,,we are also calling on governments to invest a minimum of 1% of the societal cost of dementia to funding research in basic science, care improvements, prevention and risk reduction, drug development and public health.
