This cross-border dialogue reinforced the forum’s central theme of recognising both the diversity and commonality in dementia care practices across Asia.
Beyond clinical discourse, the forum also played a vital role in raising public awareness, encouraging early intervention, and promoting a more holistic approach to dementia care, one that integrates medical, psychological, and lifestyle considerations.
Supported by Eharta Global and Neuglow, the event reflected a growing commitment to advancing cognitive health and public awareness. Lions International and Lions Club Selangor Majestic remain dedicated to championing impactful healthcare initiatives within the community.
