Round Table presents 'Radio Documentary: Aging in China: Living with Alzheimer's'

“Never too early, never too late”- that’s the theme of the 30th World Alzheimer’s Day, observed worldwide this year on Thursday, September 21st, focusing on risk factors and risk reduction for the disease. Yet the disease still has no cure, and an estimated two thirds of the people globally have little awareness of the Alzheimer’s. However, with aging as a great risk factor for the development of the disease, it has become an increasing challenge for fast aging countries like China. CGTN Radio reporters visited a nursing home in southwest China earlier this year and provide an in-depth coverage of the lives of those living with Alzheimer’s and the challenges in the country’s fight against the disease. Our special thanks go to the seniors and their families who shared their stories, as well as Huang Sihai and his team for their support in making this documentary possible.
