HHN said in a statement it facilitates, cares, supports, and motivates senior citizens to live a healthy and fulfilling social life.<br /> AD, an irreversible chronic neurodegenerative disease, is the major cause of dementia, which gradually leads to the loss of other cognitive functions. The most common early symptom is short-term memory loss, and can include problems with speech, language, movement, orientation, mood swings, motivation, self-care, and behavioral issues.<br /> The one-day national consultation with non-commercial, movie screening and panel discussion was organized on June 28 by the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), Ministry of Women, Children, and Senior Citizens (MoWCSW), HHN, and HAI, with support from World Health Organization (WHO) – Nepal, and saw the presence of honorary members from the ministry, medical professionals, teachers, students, AD patients, senior citizens, NGO representatives and film personalities such as veteran comedian and actor Madan Krishna Shrestha.<br /> The English feature, Life Flows On, produced and directed by Vishaal Nityanand and starring veteran Tom Alter, was dedicated to the psychological and emotional challenges faced by AD patients and their loved ones. <br /> “Theatres usually show dumbfounding movies, but today we saw something special and informative”, stated Nirmal KC, president of Tewa (an NGO supporting women to transform discriminatory policies and practices), while Thapa added, “This approach of film screening and discussion prepares us by illustrating the daily lifestyle of dementia patients and their caretakers, which is often hidden, not spoken, and/or ignored in Nepali society.”<br /> The screening was held for two groups – teachers and students, and medical professionals. “Dementia and AD is not in my school curriculum” states 17-year old Yunish Rai, who had just completed his A-Levels from Orient College. The movie was an eye-opener for him, while 20-year old Ashmita Karki who did study AD in her nursing curriculum stated, “What I had in mind was all theoretical. I got to learn nuances from the movie.”</p> <p>HHN estimates that there are 2.5 million elderly inhabitants at present in Nepal which is steadily growing. The Alzheimer’s Disease International estimated that there were 78,000 people with dementia in Nepal in 2015, which is expected to rise to 1,34,000 in 2030, and by 2050, the numbers will increase to 2,85,000.</p> <p>“AD is still a new term in Nepali society, and there is no word for it in the Nepali language,” states Shakuntala Prajapati, a teacher from Bir Hospital Nursing College, and adds that the symptoms are still taken to be a normal part of ageing. She elaborates that more discussions are required to change policies.<br /> The panel discussion with prominent stakeholders in AD was the highlight of the event.

HHN said in a statement it facilitates, cares, supports, and motivates senior citizens to live a healthy and fulfilling social life.<br /> AD, an irreversible chronic neurodegenerative disease, is the major cause of dementia, which gradually leads to the loss of other cognitive functions. The most common early symptom is short-term memory loss, and can include problems with speech, language, movement, orientation, mood swings, motivation, self-care, and behavioral issues.<br /> The one-day national consultation with non-commercial, movie screening and panel discussion was organized on June 28 by the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), Ministry of Women, Children, and Senior Citizens (MoWCSW), HHN, and HAI, with support from World Health Organization (WHO) – Nepal, and saw the presence of honorary members from the ministry, medical professionals, teachers, students, AD patients, senior citizens, NGO representatives and film personalities such as veteran comedian and actor Madan Krishna Shrestha.<br /> The English feature, Life Flows On, produced and directed by Vishaal Nityanand and starring veteran Tom Alter, was dedicated to the psychological and emotional challenges faced by AD patients and their loved ones. <br /> “Theatres usually show dumbfounding movies, but today we saw something special and informative”, stated Nirmal KC, president of Tewa (an NGO supporting women to transform discriminatory policies and practices), while Thapa added, “This approach of film screening and discussion prepares us by illustrating the daily lifestyle of dementia patients and their caretakers, which is often hidden, not spoken, and/or ignored in Nepali society.”<br /> The screening was held for two groups – teachers and students, and medical professionals. “Dementia and AD is not in my school curriculum” states 17-year old Yunish Rai, who had just completed his A-Levels from Orient College. The movie was an eye-opener for him, while 20-year old Ashmita Karki who did study AD in her nursing curriculum stated, “What I had in mind was all theoretical. I got to learn nuances from the movie.”</p> <p>HHN estimates that there are 2.5 million elderly inhabitants at present in Nepal which is steadily growing. The Alzheimer’s Disease International estimated that there were 78,000 people with dementia in Nepal in 2015, which is expected to rise to 1,34,000 in 2030, and by 2050, the numbers will increase to 2,85,000.</p> <p>“AD is still a new term in Nepali society, and there is no word for it in the Nepali language,” states Shakuntala Prajapati, a teacher from Bir Hospital Nursing College, and adds that the symptoms are still taken to be a normal part of ageing. She elaborates that more discussions are required to change policies.<br /> The panel discussion with prominent stakeholders in AD was the highlight of the event. Panelists Dr RR Panthee (Management Division, Department of Health Services, MoHP), Dr Kedar Marahatta (Mental Health Focal Point at WHO – Nepal), Dr Nidesh Sapkota (Professor and Geriatric Psychiatrist), Dr Ramesh Kandel (Geriatric Medicine Physician in Patan Hospital), Pradesh K Rai (Programme Representative for Nepal, HAI Nepal), Krishna Murari Gautam (President of the Aging Nepal), provided significant, new information, and answered queries on improving care and support services for people with AD and dementia, and their loved ones.<br /> Potential collaborations also formed on the event. “To address the gamut of the problem, let’s make a Nepali film”, suggested Rajendra Bahadur Shrestha, from the Rotary International, and stated that Rotary International has the funds to make it possible with the help of the concerned ministry.<br /> Panelists stressed that dementia is not a part of ageing, and not a death sentence. Dr Marahatta closed the event stating that trainings on identification and screening of dementia along with other priority mental health conditions has started from few districts, and that WHO website also has an iSupport link that provides more information on how to take care of AD patients and themselves. <br /> AD and dementia were also agreed as a public health priority in the recent 71st World Health Assembly at Geneva, and endorsed the Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia (2017-2025). WHO would now follow-up with the member states with various indicators on their action plans with the disorder.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-07-01', 'modified' => '2018-07-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8338', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-07-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8559', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Israeli Embassy in Nepal Celebrates Environment Month', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'July 1: The Embassy of Israel in Nepal organized a tree plantation and clean-up program to mark the Environment Month at Kuleshwor Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Kathmandu on June 29.', 'content' => '<p>July 1: The Embassy of Israel in Nepal organized a tree plantation and clean-up program to mark the Environment Month at Kuleshwor Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Kathmandu on June 29.</p> <p>Fruit trees and flower plants were planted around the school premises and the area was cleaned up as the symbolic initiation towards clean and better environment.

The most common early symptom is short-term memory loss, and can include problems with speech, language, movement, orientation, mood swings, motivation, self-care, and behavioral issues.<br /> The one-day national consultation with non-commercial, movie screening and panel discussion was organized on June 28 by the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), Ministry of Women, Children, and Senior Citizens (MoWCSW), HHN, and HAI, with support from World Health Organization (WHO) – Nepal, and saw the presence of honorary members from the ministry, medical professionals, teachers, students, AD patients, senior citizens, NGO representatives and film personalities such as veteran comedian and actor Madan Krishna Shrestha.<br /> The English feature, Life Flows On, produced and directed by Vishaal Nityanand and starring veteran Tom Alter, was dedicated to the psychological and emotional challenges faced by AD patients and their loved ones. <br /> “Theatres usually show dumbfounding movies, but today we saw something special and informative”, stated Nirmal KC, president of Tewa (an NGO supporting women to transform discriminatory policies and practices), while Thapa added, “This approach of film screening and discussion prepares us by illustrating the daily lifestyle of dementia patients and their caretakers, which is often hidden, not spoken, and/or ignored in Nepali society.”<br /> The screening was held for two groups – teachers and students, and medical professionals. “Dementia and AD is not in my school curriculum” states 17-year old Yunish Rai, who had just completed his A-Levels from Orient College. The movie was an eye-opener for him, while 20-year old Ashmita Karki who did study AD in her nursing curriculum stated, “What I had in mind was all theoretical. I got to learn nuances from the movie.”</p> <p>HHN estimates that there are 2.5 million elderly inhabitants at present in Nepal which is steadily growing. The Alzheimer’s Disease International estimated that there were 78,000 people with dementia in Nepal in 2015, which is expected to rise to 1,34,000 in 2030, and by 2050, the numbers will increase to 2,85,000.</p> <p>“AD is still a new term in Nepali society, and there is no word for it in the Nepali language,” states Shakuntala Prajapati, a teacher from Bir Hospital Nursing College, and adds that the symptoms are still taken to be a normal part of ageing. She elaborates that more discussions are required to change policies.<br /> The panel discussion with prominent stakeholders in AD was the highlight of the event. Panelists Dr RR Panthee (Management Division, Department of Health Services, MoHP), Dr Kedar Marahatta (Mental Health Focal Point at WHO – Nepal), Dr Nidesh Sapkota (Professor and Geriatric Psychiatrist), Dr Ramesh Kandel (Geriatric Medicine Physician in Patan Hospital), Pradesh K Rai (Programme Representative for Nepal, HAI Nepal), Krishna Murari Gautam (President of the Aging Nepal), provided significant, new information, and answered queries on improving care and support services for people with AD and dementia, and their loved ones.<br /> Potential collaborations also formed on the event. “To address the gamut of the problem, let’s make a Nepali film”, suggested Rajendra Bahadur Shrestha, from the Rotary International, and stated that Rotary International has the funds to make it possible with the help of the concerned ministry.<br /> Panelists stressed that dementia is not a part of ageing, and not a death sentence. Dr Marahatta closed the event stating that trainings on identification and screening of dementia along with other priority mental health conditions has started from few districts, and that WHO website also has an iSupport link that provides more information on how to take care of AD patients and themselves. <br /> AD and dementia were also agreed as a public health priority in the recent 71st World Health Assembly at Geneva, and endorsed the Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia (2017-2025). WHO would now follow-up with the member states with various indicators on their action plans with the disorder.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-07-01', 'modified' => '2018-07-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8338', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-07-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8559', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Israeli Embassy in Nepal Celebrates Environment Month', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'July 1: The Embassy of Israel in Nepal organized a tree plantation and clean-up program to mark the Environment Month at Kuleshwor Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Kathmandu on June 29.', 'content' => '<p>July 1: The Embassy of Israel in Nepal organized a tree plantation and clean-up program to mark the Environment Month at Kuleshwor Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Kathmandu on June 29.</p> <p>Fruit trees and flower plants were planted around the school premises and the area was cleaned up as the symbolic initiation towards clean and better environment.

HHN said in a statement it facilitates, cares, supports, and motivates senior citizens to live a healthy and fulfilling social life.<br /> AD, an irreversible chronic neurodegenerative disease, is the major cause of dementia, which gradually leads to the loss of other cognitive functions. The most common early symptom is short-term memory loss, and can include problems with speech, language, movement, orientation, mood swings, motivation, self-care, and behavioral issues.<br /> The one-day national consultation with non-commercial, movie screening and panel discussion was organized on June 28 by the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), Ministry of Women, Children, and Senior Citizens (MoWCSW), HHN, and HAI, with support from World Health Organization (WHO) – Nepal, and saw the presence of honorary members from the ministry, medical professionals, teachers, students, AD patients, senior citizens, NGO representatives and film personalities such as veteran comedian and actor Madan Krishna Shrestha.<br /> The English feature, Life Flows On, produced and directed by Vishaal Nityanand and starring veteran Tom Alter, was dedicated to the psychological and emotional challenges faced by AD patients and their loved ones. <br /> “Theatres usually show dumbfounding movies, but today we saw something special and informative”, stated Nirmal KC, president of Tewa (an NGO supporting women to transform discriminatory policies and practices), while Thapa added, “This approach of film screening and discussion prepares us by illustrating the daily lifestyle of dementia patients and their caretakers, which is often hidden, not spoken, and/or ignored in Nepali society.”<br /> The screening was held for two groups – teachers and students, and medical professionals. “Dementia and AD is not in my school curriculum” states 17-year old Yunish Rai, who had just completed his A-Levels from Orient College. The movie was an eye-opener for him, while 20-year old Ashmita Karki who did study AD in her nursing curriculum stated, “What I had in mind was all theoretical. I got to learn nuances from the movie.”</p> <p>HHN estimates that there are 2.5 million elderly inhabitants at present in Nepal which is steadily growing. The Alzheimer’s Disease International estimated that there were 78,000 people with dementia in Nepal in 2015, which is expected to rise to 1,34,000 in 2030, and by 2050, the numbers will increase to 2,85,000.</p> <p>“AD is still a new term in Nepali society, and there is no word for it in the Nepali language,” states Shakuntala Prajapati, a teacher from Bir Hospital Nursing College, and adds that the symptoms are still taken to be a normal part of ageing. She elaborates that more discussions are required to change policies.<br /> The panel discussion with prominent stakeholders in AD was the highlight of the event. Panelists Dr RR Panthee (Management Division, Department of Health Services, MoHP), Dr Kedar Marahatta (Mental Health Focal Point at WHO – Nepal), Dr Nidesh Sapkota (Professor and Geriatric Psychiatrist), Dr Ramesh Kandel (Geriatric Medicine Physician in Patan Hospital), Pradesh K Rai (Programme Representative for Nepal, HAI Nepal), Krishna Murari Gautam (President of the Aging Nepal), provided significant, new information, and answered queries on improving care and support services for people with AD and dementia, and their loved ones.<br /> Potential collaborations also formed on the event. “To address the gamut of the problem, let’s make a Nepali film”, suggested Rajendra Bahadur Shrestha, from the Rotary International, and stated that Rotary International has the funds to make it possible with the help of the concerned ministry.<br /> Panelists stressed that dementia is not a part of ageing, and not a death sentence. Dr Marahatta closed the event stating that trainings on identification and screening of dementia along with other priority mental health conditions has started from few districts, and that WHO website also has an iSupport link that provides more information on how to take care of AD patients and themselves. <br /> AD and dementia were also agreed as a public health priority in the recent 71st World Health Assembly at Geneva, and endorsed the Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia (2017-2025). WHO would now follow-up with the member states with various indicators on their action plans with the disorder.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-07-01', 'modified' => '2018-07-01', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8338', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '2018-07-01 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8559', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Israeli Embassy in Nepal Celebrates Environment Month', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'July 1: The Embassy of Israel in Nepal organized a tree plantation and clean-up program to mark the Environment Month at Kuleshwor Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Kathmandu on June 29.', 'content' => '<p>July 1: The Embassy of Israel in Nepal organized a tree plantation and clean-up program to mark the Environment Month at Kuleshwor Madhyamik Vidyalaya, Kathmandu on June 29.</p> <p>Fruit trees and flower plants were planted around the school premises and the area was cleaned up as the symbolic initiation towards clean and better environment.
