The National Dementiastrategy 2021-2030 in the Netherlands: how did we convince our minister of health to give priority to dementia?
Alzheimer Nederland created a national strategy for the Netherlands with our vision: a future without dementia and an improved quality of life for everyone who is dealing with dementia. We use this strategy to make our own responsibilities explicit but we also underline the urgency of doing it together. Together with healthcare insurances, together with the government, together with the municipalities and of course based on the voice and needs of people with dementia and their caregivers. The strategy is concretized into objectives, goals, strategies and measures and it consists of 4 main subjects, namely Research, Support and Care, Prevention, and a Dementia Friendly Society.
Our strategy inspired the ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport to create a similar strategy for the Netherlands that is based on our mission. We work closely together to realize the best results possible. In our presentation we will further explain our strategy and elaborate on the actions we took to achieve an influence of the strategy on a national policy level.
