Only Takes A Second

We are facing a public health and social care emergency - immediate action is needed!

Global Alzheimer's Disease Charter

Alzheimer's Disease International has developed a Global Alzheimer's Disease Charter to draw attention to the urgent action needed from governments and stakeholders to make Alzheimer's disease and other dementias a health priority around the world!

The Charter was launched on World Alzheimer's Day - 21st September 2008 and appears to have little traction, please sign the petition today, and share the word.

"Lack of awareness and understanding has resulted in insufficient resources to address this crisis. Worldwide, attention to this rapidly growing problem is so small that most of those affected continue to suffer without help, or hope. This must change! The quality of life of people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias can be transformed. Too often, they, their families and carers lack the support that they need and deserve."
