As a result, dementia will be the most serious health crisis of the 21st century *. *Based on DEMENTIA IN THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION, ADI Report 2014. This will amount to a total healthcare cost of
In Malaysia Population: 32 million There are approximately 123,000 persons with dementia in 2015. This will be rising to: 261,000 in 2030 590,000 by 2050 This will cost RM689 million (approx. US$175 million/year) in healthcare. 2018 health budget: RM28.5 billion. Operating costs: RM 24.7 billion ie 93% of total budget. In Brunei Population: 450,000 ADI forecast ranks Brunei third highest (in %) of persons with dementia in Asia Pacific after Singapore and Thailand. There is no available data on dementia. Estimate from MOH, suggests that in 2015, there are more than 2,000 people living with dementia. ADI estimated 1,000 persons. This will be rising to: 7,200 in 2030 21,000 by 2050 This will cost B$65 million in healthcare. 2018 health budget: B$320 million. Healthcare is free in Brunei.
In Malaysia There is a small number of daycare and long-term care facility for older people with dementia for residence or respite. A research conducted by Frost & Sullivan on Market Impact 2018* states an urgent need of intervention and need for early diagnosis. * China, Singapore, India, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia. Malaysia has the highest prevalence of mental disorders yet lags behind in active health service reform. In Brunei There is no long-term care facility for older people with dementia for residence or respite. Families bear the full burden of caring for loved ones with dementia. Brunei Darussalam s Declaration on Strengthening Family Institution: Caring for the Elderly calls for action to strengthen and support efforts to create a family-friendly social environment. This will require improving awareness and skills of family in managing persons with dementia.
There is no prevention and there is no cure for dementia. Quality life for persons with dementia comes with quality care through: training and education on essentials communication and skills to manage the disease. This can be supported by specialists, professional medical and trained nurses, caregivers, care workers trained in aged and dementia care.
Dementia Care Skills (DCS) Train-the- Trainers Programme At the Global Level ADI worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) on drafting the policies and guidelines for formulating National Dementia Plans. At the 70th World Health Assembly held in Geneva, the Global Plan on Public Health Response to Dementia (2017-2025) was formally adopted by the WHO on 29 May 2017. At Asia Pacific Region Level By 2050, over 71 million people will be living with dementia in the region. This is 68% ie over half the total global figure of 135 million.
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. In August 2016, ADFM held the first DCS* TTT Programme for Malaysia. 15 participants (13 Malaysians and 2 Bruneians) went through the 5-day intensive workshop in improving care skills for persons with dementia.
