Poland

Introduction

There is currently no national dementia strategy in Poland.

On 15 November 2013, representatives of the Polish Alzheimer's Association and the Polish Alzheimer Coalition held a conference at the request of the Office of the Polish Ombudsman. During the conference, they gave several presentations on the status of people with dementia and their caregivers in Poland. They also presented a conference report and a draft of the national Polish dementia plan to Ombudsman Professor Irena Lipowicz.

Prof Lipowicz will forward the report and the plan to the Minister of Health, along with an official request to take steps enabling adoption and implementation as soon as possible.
