There is no coordinated planning nor resourcing of care specifically for people living with dementia in Brazil. What we have that may be closer to a coordinated care is the “Matriciamento em Saúde Mental” (cited above), that could include health and educational sectors from below.

Not applicable due to a lack of an established dementia care pathway in the public health sector.

Care for people with dementia is provided in both, the public and private sector. The public sector is overseen by the Ministry of Health. However, there is no coordinated care across the two sectors as people who access public health care (often free or subsidized) may not be able to afford private health care. Those accessing private health care in turn may consider public health care as sub-standard or as a service that does not pay particular attention on patient needs.

No data is available as no care coordination mechanisms are in place.

There is no coordinated care, resource, or planning mechanism across departments in the government for persons living with dementia in South Africa. Care coordination services and support for persons living with dementia rely on the NGO sector. Government departments are not able to hold each other accountable for their relevant responsibilities.
