Family Doctor | When Memory Begins To Fade | Understanding Dementia & The Hidden Toll on Caregivers

Dementia is the seventh leading cause of death among older people globally, with East Africa projected to experience one of the highest increases in cases by 2050. Yet, widespread social stigma, high out-of-pocket costs, and a lack of specialized infrastructure leave many Kenyan families struggling in silence. In this episode of Family Doctor, we explore When Memory Begins to Fade: Dementia in Kenya. We feature the personal story of Hannah, who navigated her mother’s progressive cognitive decline and eventual loss. We are also joined by Elizabeth, founder of the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Organization Kenya (ADOK), who highlights the emotional, physical, and practical pressures caregivers face. #DementiaAwareness #FamilyDoctor #ADOK #CaregiverSupport #KenyaHealthcare Subscribe to our YouTube channel and turn on your post notifications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch our full shows on: https://www.familymediaonline.com Stream Family TV online on: https://www.familymedia.tv Stream Family Radio online on: https://www.familyradio316.com Stream Radio 316 online on: https://www.radio316.co.ke ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on social media: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Family TV Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TBNFamilyTVKenya/ X: https://x.com/FamilyMediaTV Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familymediakenya/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Family Radio 316 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/familyradioke/ X: https://x.com/FamilyRadioKe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #FamilyTV #FamilyRadio #Radio316
