In Mexico, ageing has been recently considered a relevant issue, and therefore it has been positioning within the public agenda in the past two decades. However, there is still no Ministry that oversees clinical or social aspects of dementia. As a consequence, to date, there are no national policies or programmes for dementia, and there are no strategies that aim at diagnosing, monitoring, or providing treatment and behavioural management options for people with dementia and/or their carers.
