We are also looking to expand our network of GDO peer-reviewers. For more details see here: who.int/news/item/16-01-2020… @AlzDisInt @AlzheimerEurope @WorldDementia @wyldementia @GBHI_Fellows @LTCcovid @womensbrainpro @wfneurology @ncdalliance @ADNet_Australia @DementiaAllianc
Are you working on #dementia care, support, and innovation in these challenging times? Share your work with the world. Submit your resource to @WHO’s GDO Knowledge Exchange Platform. 👉tinyurl.com/y6mnvtl4 Pls share widely. @AlzDisInt @STRiDEDementia @wyldementia @GBHI_Fellows
ALT The Global Dementia Observatory (GDO) Knowledge Exchange Platform is WHO's resource and information sharing portal that supports the implementation of the global action plan on the public health response to dementia. The updated platform will go live later this year, but we are already curating resources to be featured on the platform once it goes live.
Check out @WHO’s first ever #PPC for a non-infectious disease! Our PPC of blood-based biomarker diagnostics for #Alzheimers.
Launched today with the support of many international experts and guided by the views of people living with #dementia. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻

💡 New #Mentalhealth resource: International travel and health: Module 5 Mental, neurological and substance use conditions by @WHO
🚩Access the resource: mhinnovation.net/resources/i…
International travel can be a stressful experience. Module 5 lays out the various aspects relevant to mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) conditions that travel health practitioners should be aware of when supporting travelers, or people with these conditions who are considering travelling

Ahead of #WorldBrainDay, I had a conversation with @WHO's Vismita Gupta-Smith about #dementia.
😟🧠 What are the symptoms?
👴👵 Is it a normal part of #ageing?
💪🥗 What can we do to reduce our chances of developing dementia?

WHO is working with countries & partners to ensure people with Down syndrome can:
✅access quality, affordable health care services
✅participate in their care and make decisions about their health
✅live free from harmful stereotypes, stigma & discrimination

#WorldDownSyndromeDay
And not just for children… adults with Down syndrome are at increased risk of developing #dementia. We need person-centred inclusive services that address individual needs and promote brain function across the life. #brainhealth for all. who.int/publications/i/item/…
Health needs of children & young people with Down syndrome are often overlooked or left untreated due to various barriers:
🚧 stigma & discrimination
🚧 delayed identification of health issues
🚧 limited knowledge of developmental disabilities in the health workforce

Over 80% of the burden and health loss from neurological conditions occur in low- and middle-income countries.
Access to care, treatment and rehabilitation remains limited.
More must be done to boost research & scale up access to quality services bit.ly/3VhxQnq

🆕 Neurological conditions, which affect the brain and nervous system, are now the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide.
More than 3 billion people live with a neurological condition.
Stroke, neonatal brain injury, migraine, dementia, and epilepsy are among the most common bit.ly/3VhxQnq
This infographic sums it up nicely:
- leading cause of DALYs
- leading cause of YLLs
- #stroke, neonatal encephalopathy, #migraine, #dementia & diabetic neuropathy among the top contributors
- >80% of burden in LMICs
- urgent concerted actions needed
