Brazil’s last presidential election was in October 2018 and the new government started its activities in January 2019.

We are aware that a new department was created this year in the Ministry of Health (Secretaria de Atenção Primária) and dementia is one of their priorities. Prof. Cleusa Ferri has been invited to go to Brasilia to talk to the Secretary of that Secretariat.
