LIAS FELLOW
(2018)
The first ministerial WHO conference on global action against dementia in 2015 stated, "We need to invest more in research to develop a drug, but also to improve the quality of life of people with dementia and the support of their caregivers."
A healthy public debate about important societal challenges requires a common and scientifically sound basis.
