Dementia has not been mentioned in other national plans, not even in the national plan of Older People’s Health (Ministry of Health Regulation No. 25/2016 on National Action Plan on Older People’s Health, 2016). However, diabetes and hypertension, two chronic conditions which are risk factors of dementia are covered by the Prolanis program (BPJS Kesehatan, 2014).
