Dr. Suhail Al Rukn and Dr. Shadi Ibrahim called for making brain health a healthcare priority in the UAE and for exploring a national policy to reduce dementia risk. The policy would include early detection, improved diagnosis and specialized care, and the establishment of memory and neurodegenerative disease centers in every emirate. They stressed that Alzheimer’s is not an inevitable consequence of aging, and that stigma and misconceptions can delay diagnosis. International estimates indicate that around 55 million people worldwide are living with dementia. According to the 2024 Lancet Commission report, 14 modifiable risk factors account for approximately 45% of dementia cases globally. These include high blood pressure, diabetes, hearing loss, physical inactivity, obesity and smoking.
