Dementia, a disease that is mostly affecting aging Kenyans, is leaving a trail of hopelessness and financial pain due to lack of awareness, experts have said.
“There is a lot of stigma surrounding the disease and most people think that one is bewitched or they have annoyed the gods and they are being punished by being unwell,” said Elizabeth Mutunga, who founded the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Organisation of Kenya (Adok) in memory of her father.
