Aging in China: Living with Alzheimer’s #CGTN

China plans to create a system to reduce the incidence rate of dementia-related diseases and to address the challenges of a rapidly aging population.

By 2030, the system will cover prevention, screenings, diagnoses, treatment, rehabilitation and care services for patients.

Today, more than 10 million elderly people in the country are affected by Alzheimer’s disease – the most common form of dementia.

CGTN takes you to a nursing home in southwest China to meet seniors who are experiencing persistent and increasing memory loss – and those who refuse to forget them.
