Health systems in LMICs are poorly equipped to care for chronic mental and physical disease, which are rapidly increasing with aging populations. Cognitive impairment challenges health systems on multiple fronts, incurring huge human and financial costs. Latin America has the highest projected increase in dementia incidence globally, and in Peru there are ~300,000 people with dementia (PWD). Many are undiagnosed and lack basic support. Care is often provided exclusively by family members. IMPACT Dement is a new 4-year project funded by the Global Health programme of the NIHR, which will tackle inequity in access to dementia care and diagnosis in Peru and beyond using sustainable, integrated, person-centred, community-delivered, technology-enabled innovation.
