Examples of such targets are the initiation of a national training centre in cognitive health and dementia treatment, the development of standard operational procedure of older people’s care (to be implemented in all healthcare facilities), the implementation of an instrument for the screening of cognitive impairment and diagnosis of dementia among people at risk of developing it, the initiation of a referral system for people with dementia embedded in all primary healthcare facilities (alongside with screening, diagnosing and counselling), neurorestoration care in all referred healthcare facilities and ultimately supporting the development of long term care insurance (Ministry of Health Republic of Indonesia, 2015b).
