There is no mention of dementia in any policy document in Kenya whether at national or at county level. It is understood that the mental health policy would also cover people living with dementia as its definition provides a wide realm of potentially eligible people: “older persons especially those without social protection and social networks are often vulnerable to mental disorders” (Ministry of Health, 2015c), page 19.  They should therefore be targeted for mental health interventions.
