Brain Health & Ageing | Webinar Announcement As populations age across the world, brain health and mental wellbeing is emerging as a critical public health priority especially for older persons. Today, nearly 60–70% of people living with dementia are in low- and middle-income countries, where awareness, early diagnosis and access to care remain limited. Join us for a timely and insightful webinar on “Brain Health & Ageing: Preventive, Promotive and Practical Approaches for Lifelong Mental Wellbeing”, bringing together global experts to explore how we can better understand, protect and strengthen cognitive health across the life course. The session will cover key aspects of brain health and cognitive ageing: from understanding risk and protective factors, prevention across the lifespan and early identification of cognitive decline, to community-based solutions. It will also explore how media and digital environments shape awareness, behaviours and brain health literacy. Whether you're a healthcare professional, researcher, caregiver, policymaker, or simply interested in healthy ageing, this conversation is for you. Let’s come together to build awareness, reduce stigma and advance brain health for all. Date: 27th March 2026 (Friday) Time: 3:00 – 5:00 PM IST Zoom Attendee Link : us02web.zoom.us/j/82252129863?… YouTube live stream link: youtube.com/live/JsDGDO6mB…

On this day, 25 years ago (10th January 2000), I had the most devastating experience of my life. My beloved mother, Mrs Grace Eze, died at 56! She was a very kind, lovely, and industrious woman. She was a tailor, trader, farmer, dancer, and community leader. Love you always!
