Information campaign on dementia at Karystos from Karelleio

Nationwide Korelleio’s dementia campaign stopped at Karystos on April 1 and 2 supported by the 100% Greek company MEGA and Sani Sensitive and the Holy Metropolis of Karystos and Skyros.

Alzheimer’s and other dementia patients in Greece are estimated at around 200,000; according to recent research data, we have a new dementia case every 4 seconds worldwide.

Aiming at preventing dementia, raising public awareness and supporting local health care providers, Karelleios’ specialized staff delivered a free memory test to many Karystos citizens over 60. Further, a talk on Alzheimer’s was delivered at “Agios Nikolaos” Nursing Home to dozens of people and caregivers, who shared their experiences.

The campaign will continue to Skyros on April 8.
