There have not yet been many dementia-specific documents, although age-friendly policies have been implemented at regional levels. A good example of a specific regional policy is the dementia-friendly village of Ketewel in Bali (Radha, 2018). There are also clinical guidelines on diagnosis and management of dementia issued by the Indonesian Neurologists Association (PERDOSSI) in 2015 (PERDOSSI, 2015).
