Though the exact causes for Alzheimer’s are yet to be understood, researchers have been able to make some progress in this direction. For more information, join the Alzheimer’s support group today!

Hello all From an outsider's perspective [I am from Western Australia] this seems such a positive initiative. Can someone please advise the number of people with a diagnosis of dementia in India, and what proportion of the Indian population that translates to? How many dementia sufferers and families is this initiative planned to assist? Thank you so much - regards and best wishes Wayne
