Amman, Sept. 15 (Petra) - Al Oun Jordan Association for Alzheimer's Disease (AJAAD) convened a panel discussion on Tuesday at the King Hussein Club in Amman.
Patronized by Alzheimer's Disease International Global Ambassador and AJAAD Honorary President HRH Princess Muna Al Hussein and attended by HRH Princess Zein bint Al Hussein, the World Alzheimer’s Month session focused on early diagnosis, caregiver support, and stigma reduction under the theme "The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do." Princess Muna stated that detecting Alzheimer's early is "critical" to managing risk factors and improving quality of life for patients and their families.
Society leaders echoed her message, adding that building an inclusive, stigma-free community requires active collaboration across the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Development, educational institutions, private sectors, and civil society.
Alongside personal accounts from family caregivers detailing their daily demands, Health Minister Ibrahim Bdour and Social Development Minister Wafaa Bani Mustafa presented official frameworks for senior and dementia care.
On the sidelines of the event, AJAAD signed a cooperation agreement with the Parkinson's Care Association to unify resources and improve specialized care for Jordanians living with neurological disorders.
