Cayman neurologist warns of looming dementia crisis
If Cayman fails to act on dementia, the country will face what one doctor is calling a “crisis of epidemic proportions”.
That was the warning from Dr. Ryan Punambolam, neurologist at Doctors Hospital, who delivered a presentation on ‘Bending the Dementia Curve in Cayman’ at the Frontiers of Healthcare conference on 26 Sept. The event, hosted by Doctors Hospital and Integra Healthcare, brought together the healthcare community to address some of Cayman’s most pressing medical issues.
“If we reflect on the status of dementia on this island, it is not a pretty picture,” Punambolam told the audience. “We are due to see a doubling of prevalence in the Cayman Islands by 2050.”
