BVI Joins The Global In Observance of World Alzheimer’s Day

More Than 55 Million People Worldwide Affected By The Disease

Today, September 21, the world unites to observe World Alzheimer’s Day, an annual global initiative that aims to raise awareness and combat the stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org), there are currently over 55 million people worldwide who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

These individuals, along with their families and caregivers, face immense challenges in their daily lives.

Today’s observance serves as a reminder of the urgent need to support those affected by this devastating disease and promote understanding and compassion within our communities.

Residents can get involved and help make a difference by donating to reputable research centres and organisations dedicated to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease; share information with your colleagues at work and your loved ones at home to help raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease; and supporting caregivers who play an essential role in the lives of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.
