On World Alzheimer's Day, observed every year on September 21st, organizations, healthcare professionals, and caregivers come together globally to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, affecting millions worldwide, particularly older adults. It gradually erodes memory, thinking skills, and the ability to perform even simple tasks.

The theme of World Alzheimer’s Day 2024 focuses on "Know Dementia, Know Alzheimer’s," emphasizing the importance of recognizing early signs and symptoms of the disease, such as forgetfulness, confusion, and difficulty with language or problem-solving.
