<p></p><p>Countries across the six WHO regions are participating in the Global Dementia Observatory (GDO), a data and knowledge exchange platform. The GDO provides easy access to country-level key dementia data and functions as the monitoring mechanism of the <a href="https://www.who.int/mental_health/neurology/dementia/action_plan_2017_2025/en/">Global dementia action plan on the public health response to dementia 2017-2025</a>.</p><p>GDO country profiles offer a baseline summary of countries’ progress on dementia actions outlined in the global dementia action plan. They provide an easy read snapshot of the more comprehensive data submitted by Member States across three key domains related to dementia: policies, service delivery, and information and research. GDO country profiles can be used to inform policy, service planning and health and social care systems decisions for dementia. Additional country profiles will be added as data becomes available. </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.who.int/mental_health/neurology/dementia/GDO_country_profiles/en/">View GDO country profiles</a></p><p><a href="https://www.who.int/mental_health/neurology/dementia/Global_Observatory/en/">Access the GDO</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.who.int/mental_health/neurology/dementia/gdo_reference_guide/en/">Read the GDO Reference Guide</a></p><p></p>
