Africa dementia services (ADS)

T

here is little research done so far to inform us on dementia in Africa. However, it

is known from personal stories of the ADS group and the small outreach team in

Zimbabwe reports that people who are living with a cognitive impairment are perceived

as witches, bewitched or demon possessed. This means that they are neglected and

missed from the main stream clinical care. Africa Dementia Services aims to build

work around providing dementia awareness to the public, and professional training,

information materials, research opportunities, supportive services and eventually

building of dementia villages. Africans are prone to sickle cell anaemia and other

blood conditions which may result in vascular dementia. At the vascular conference, a

report will be provided on the work in Zimbabwe, (an action research on developing a

dementia information service in a village in Zimbabwe).
