27/03/2026

The Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità) was responsible for coordinating the Immidem project, which focused on dementia among migrants living in Italy and has now been completed. A final conference was organised in Rome at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità on 27 March 2026. This was preceded by a last working group meeting to discuss future possible plans. Dianne Gove, who had contributed towards the earlier work, attended the conference and chaired the first conference session on global health commitments on diversity, dementia and healthy ageing. Other sessions addressed issues related to epidemiology, assessment of dementia in migrant groups, cross-cultural cognitive and functional assessment tools and real-world experience of improving care for migrants.
