Vision
To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, Biniyam believes we have to design and develop a pragmatic strategic plan relevant to dementia prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Our plan should pivot to the unique challenges of the specified regions.
Strategy
Biniyam is working on establishing a facility-specific dementia registry and starting routine dementia screening of individuals at risk such as: age above 60 years, HIV + patients, those living in shelter homes, stroke, and those with vascular risk factors.
Impact
As an Atlantic Fellow, Biniyam aims to gain and enhance knowledge and skills in the field of dementia; to strengthen dementia policies, care, & research in Ethiopia; and to expand networking and collaboration opportunities.
Motivation
In Ethiopia, dementia care and research are still in their infancy. Biniyam's work will focus on improving dementia prevention, diagnosis and care in Ethiopia. He is also interested in improving public awareness about dementia through advocacy works.
