This is 68% ie over half the total global figure of 135 million.

12 At Local Level The Dementia Care Skills* (DCS) Train-the-Trainers (TTT) Programme was developed by ADI to address the need to build sustainable capacity in the training of dementia care in developing countries in the Asia Pacific region.
