None for this specific purpose. No national registry of people with dementia, no dementia care policies are in place, and no performance indicators.
Currently, performance of the Health System, in general, is measured by process indicators (number of vaccines, births, deaths). No impact indicators related to dementia are available. Epidemiological evidence available comes from research projects, or national level surveys (for health in general and dementia in particular), not from monitoring systems. There is urgent need to generate research on the social and economic determinants and impacts of dementia, and that this information is made available to decision-makers. There is also need of greater involvement of decision-makers in the research process.
