Invitation

Invitation to Everybody with an Interest in Alzheimer's Disease

1999 - intersection of the International Year of Older Persons and the Decade of the Brain, cusp of the millennia, falling within a period of major developments in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. What better time to attend an ADI Conference?

It is thus my pleasure to convey this early invitation to you, on behalf of the Alzheimer's and Related Disorders Association of South Africa, to attend the 15th International Conference of Alzheimer's Disease International in Johannesburg during September 1999. We plan making it a truly exciting opportunity for learning and exchanging ideas, and for benefitting from the unique perspectives of Africa.

At this stage of the planning we intend covering the following themes:

medical research and bioscience of dementia
popultion science of dementia: epidemiology, screening, and family and community dynamics
caring models, in the family and at residences
councelling and support of next-of-kin
health and welfare economics and policy and
human rights and legislation

The conference will hardly be the only element of interest for the delegate to South Africa. We have no fear of being branded boastful when stating that our ecology and wildlife are unique and a pleasure to experience. The society and politics of our country are a constant source of wonder and hope. We plan to make it possible for people attending the conference to experience for themselves what it is that makes South Africa exceptional.

Kindly demonstrate your early interest in attending the conference by completing the form on the back of this leaflet and returning or faxing it to us as soon as possible.

We look forward to welcoming you to South Africa in the (southern) spring of 1999.

Dr Hennie de Clercq
Chairman, Organising Committee
