Udruženje AiR, the Alzheimer association in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has adapted its activities during World Alzheimer’s Month (September), to work within the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic. The association wanted to bring in new services and begin a new way of communicating with its service-users, which it calls “tele-health and tele-care”. People with dementia can get the support they need at home, completely free of charge, via audio-video meetings. Udruženje AiR is thus able to give health advice, support for carers, psychological consultations and therapy to caregivers. Every day, the association has many service users wanting to access information and online sessions, so much so that it is considering how to maintain these services for free, in the future.
