 mentia is a cause for increasing concern worldwide\, including in Curaçao

 ment\, and care. \nThis conference brings together medical professionals\,
  healthcare workers\, caregivers\, policymakers\, and other stakeholders t
 o share knowledge and explore how we can better respond to the challenges 
 of dementia in our Caribbean community.\nWhat can we do to reduce the risk
  of dementia? How can dementia and its symptoms be treated and managed? An
 d how can we better support families and caregivers facing the increasing 
 demands of caring for a loved one with dementia?\nThese and other importan
 t questions will be addressed during this two-day conference. \nBe part of
