On 19 September, at an online event, experts underscored the need for proper guidance and awareness of Alzheimer’s disease – an irreversible and progressive brain disorder. The event titled "Update on Alzheimer’s Disease" was organised by the Pakistan Society of Neurology (PSN) in collaboration with the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) in Karachi. Dr Muhammad Wasay, Head of the neurology Department at the AKUH, said the treatment of Alzheimer’s was prolonged and if the treatment was not started in time, the disease became extremely severe in six to seven years.
