Vision
To reduce the impact of stroke and vascular dementia, we need to work with experts from different backgrounds as a team to create new and innovative solutions to the existing problems.
Strategy
Jerónimo is studying and addressing risk factors for stroke and post stroke dementia in the population of Mexico City.
Impact
During his fellowship Jerónimo came to have a deeper and better understanding of how social, economical, cultural, geographical and other non medical factors impact the development and prognosis of diseases like stroke and dementia.
Motivation
Dementia in Mexico is an important yet unrecognised problem. As our population ages and the rate of chronic diseases rises, we will face an important increase of the cases of dementia. The time to prevent that is now.
