The national dementia policy/plan has not directly addressed the issue of mistreatment and abuse of people with dementia and its prevention. However, the national plan lists existing regulations that serve to protect older people from abuse as one of the indicators for the second action step (advocacy of human rights for people with dementia and their carers) (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia, 2015b).
