“Act Early”: THA Highlights Importance Of Recognising Alzheimer’s Signs

As part of World Alzheimer’s Day observances, the THA Division of Health and Wellness hosted a panel discussion to assist family, friends and caregivers in understanding the disease and normalising discussions about the progressive brain disorder, which affects many people in the later stages of life.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder and is the most common form of dementia among older people.

In commemoration of World Alzheimer’s Day on September 21st, Secretary with responsibility for Health and Wellness, Dr Faith Brebnor, wants Tobagonians to understand the disease and to act early.
