Solving Alzheimer's: The Trillion Dollar Disease
How will governments find the money and workers to care for Alzheimer鈥檚 sufferers?
Dementia is now a trillion-dollar disease, and with the numbers of patients doubling every 20 years, the burden will fall unevenly on developing countries where the growth rate is fastest. We travel to South Korea, the fastest ageing country in the world, where the country鈥檚 president has declared the challenge of Alzheimer鈥檚 to be a national crisis. We meet families struggling to look after loved ones with Alzheimer鈥檚 and visit the Netherlands, where an innovative approach to Alzheimer鈥檚 care offers hope for the future.
