Dementia awareness raising campaign in St. Kitts and Nevis
In 2017, St. Kitts and Nevis, along with all 194 WHO Member States, unanimously adopted the
World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to
Dementia with the primary objective of the plan being the creation of National Dementia Plans and
strategies. However, the WHO Global Status Report on the Public Health response to dementia,
and Alzheimer’s Disease International’s own report ‘From plan to impact V’, tracking the progress

Nevis is yet to uphold their 2017 commitment and thus its promise to provide adequate care and
support to those living with dementia, carers and the public.
