TMA hosted representatives of the โMemory Cafeโ, which is a project that was created by young people, the project aims to raise awareness about Alzheimerโs disease within the society. The meeting was held at the initiative of the Alzheimerโs Club, a student club at TMA dedicated to the same issue, where the concept of the project and its role in improving existing approaches to Alzheimerโs disease were discussed.
According to Barbare Gakharia, co-founder of the โMemory Cafรฉโ, medical students, and in particular, members of the TMA Alzheimerโs Club, are one of the most important people who can help in disseminating such information correctly. โIf club members are interested in the โMemory Cafeโ initiative, our cafe initiative group will potentially grow and more community members will be able to benefit from the events and meetings we plan. We mean both patient support, as well as involving people with dementia in various activities, socialization in the cafe environment, etc. We hope that in the future TMA students will join us and we will jointly implement similar activities,โ noted Barbare Gakharia.
