On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) CEO and Board Member Mr. Ryoji Noritake delivered a presentation at the summit for international leaders in the dementia field at the World Dementia Council (WDC) at the Francis Crick Institute in London. Noritake presented in a session focused on the practical ways to prevent dementia treatments from expanding inequalities between and within countries.
The 2024 World Dementia Council Summit, titled “The next 10 years: from therapies through to brain health”, was hosted by WDC, rooted in the pressing need to accelerate the progress in dementia diagnosis and treatment. Joined by politicians, policymakers, the research community, industry, care providers and advocates as speakers, it also covered health humanity challenges, such as how to combat health inequalities resulting from disparities in available treatments for individuals. Recognising the trend of rapidly ageing populations worldwide, it addressed how to maintain brain health and prevent disease, how to diagnose earlier and treat better; and how to keep people well for as long as possible for as long as possible.
