AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoDementia Focus: The WHO says dementia is rising fast across Africa, with about 1.9 million people living with the condition and costs to families and society reaching an estimated US$15.6 billion a year, driven largely by unpaid caregiving (often women) and limited national planning—WHO notes that as of 2024 none of the 47 African countries had a national dementia plan, while only a handful ran public awareness efforts. Local Capacity Building: In Nairobi, health leaders from 10 African countries—including Cabo Verde—met at a WHO workshop (Sept 14–16) to push better prevention, diagnosis, and access to dementia care and support. Health Policy Research: WHO also calls for more research into traditional medicine, arguing that growing use of complementary approaches needs stronger safety and effectiveness data to meet rising health needs. Tech & Wellness Access: Apple expanded iCloud+ in 100+ countries (including Cabo Verde) by bundling Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and Apple Music Select at no extra charge—useful for families managing digital entertainment alongside health routines.
