About 3.2 million people in India are affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of Dementia. By 2016 there will be 113 million people over 60 and above. Of which 10% of them over 65 and almost half of them over 85 will have the disease.
Your involvement as a volunteer can make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
ARDSI Calcutta Chapter urges all those who are willing to join us and help in achieving our vision of creating a world without Alzheimer's disease while optimizing quality of life for people who are affected by Alzheimer's disease.
