I did a research into the need of elderly health care in Ghana West Africa. Based on my findings, I’ve started a project on awareness campaign “Dementia is not a witchcraft” in the south eastern part of Ghana, where a 72year old grandma was accused to be a witch and set on fire. She died shortly after a nursing student rescued her in Tema last November.

I have been doing my own non-medical private research into the Alzheimer’s disease, mainly because I myself am afflicted with the problem. I live in the Western Cape, where the the so-called coloured people are dominant in most areas. To the coloured people Alzheimer’s is rather a well known problem. I donot think any survey has been undertaken amongst this group.

I have writtena book about my own involvement and my research and am always willing to share some of my views. Regards John
