On January 7, 2020, STRiDE Jamaica’s team lead met with the MOHW to advocate for a National Dementia Plan. STRiDE Jamaica was advised that while a stand-alone dementia policy was not feasible, dementia may be integrated in a wider health policy. It is hoped that as an outcome of Jamaica’s involvement in the STRiDE project (2017-2021), this will be achieved in the next 5 years.
