Prior to the vote, the Splaine Consulting team joined policy makers, advocates, persons with dementia, and other dementia care professionals for a special side-event at the 70th World Health Assembly, “New Opportunities from the Global Action Plan on Dementia,” co-hosted by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health in partnership with Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), Dementia Alliance International (DAI), and the Global Alzheimer’s and Dementia Action Alliance (GADAA). Through ADI, Splaine Consulting works with Alzheimer organizations, governments, and the WHO to develop national and subnational plans for dementia.
