Kiggundu bids to break barriers in dementia fight

Uganda is one of the world’s youngest countries in the world but the nation faces a problem of dementia among its elderly.

Perhaps, this could be more profound when the current population ages. This is because every year, there are nearly 10 million new cases, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). And it is estimated that 152 million people worldwide will be living with dementia by 2050.

One Ugandan, Mr Rodney Kiggundu, is joining the fight early enough through the use of art and social activism.
