- Abstract
- The chapter examines education and training initiatives aimed at improving dementia care in majority-world settings. It highlights three key programs that promote equitable partnerships between high-income countries (HICs), upper-middle-income countries, and lower and middle-income countries (LMICs). The first initiative is the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health fellowship at the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI), which trains interdisciplinary leaders to address dementia prevention and brain health challenges globally. The second initiative, which includes various Latin America-based education and training initiatives, focuses on regional brain health issues, promoting research, education, and policy initiatives tailored to...

- The chapter examines education and training initiatives aimed at improving dementia care in majority-world settings. It highlights three key programs that promote equitable partnerships between high-income countries (HICs), upper-middle-income countries, and lower and middle-income countries (LMICs). The first initiative is the Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health fellowship at the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI), which trains interdisciplinary leaders to address dementia prevention and brain health challenges globally. The second initiative, which includes various Latin America-based education and training initiatives, focuses on regional brain health issues, promoting research, education, and policy initiatives tailored to Latin America’s unique context. The Latin American initiatives (i.e., BrainLat, ReDLat) aim to integrate brain research into national health agendas while enhancing capacity among healthcare professionals and policymakers. Lastly, the International Dementia Academy South Asia (IDASA) provides dementia training to address the significant shortage of trained professionals in countries like India and Bangladesh. These initiatives collectively aim to build local capacities, foster collaboration among stakeholders, and create sustainable improvements in dementia care, ultimately contributing to a global community of practice that enhances brain health outcomes in the majority world. By addressing local needs through targeted education and training, these programs strive to mitigate the growing burden of dementia in resource-limited settings. (Less)
