Fight against the super-aged society! Cheung Kei joins hands with experts from Japan and South Korea to build a cross-border "whole-person dementia care network"

As Taiwan enters a super-aging society, the demand for dementia care is increasing day by day. How to integrate medical, long-term care and community resources has become an important issue. Changhua Christian Medical Center, together with the Changhua County Nurse Practitioners Association and the Taiwan Dementia Society, held the "International Symposium on Long-term Care and Dementia Care" today (7th), inviting experts from Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to exchange ideas with the theme of "Deepening the Integration of Long-term Care Services and Innovating New Models of Dementia Care", attracting nearly 120 medical and long-term care professionals to participate in the event.

Lin Qingxiong, deputy director of Changji, pointed out that dementia care is not only about taking care of the patient, but also taking care of the entire family. With the full support of Chief Director Chen Mukuan, Changji has connected medical care, community and long-term care into a complete network, and has learned from the experience of Japan and South Korea to provide patients with dignified care and substantial support for their families.

The seminar specially invited Yuki Kusumi, a physician from Tachikawa Hospital in Tokyo, Japan, to share drug treatment and safety strategies via video; Professor Kim Hee-jin from Hanyang University in South Korea introduced an innovative model that combines community and AI smart technology; Wang Wenfu, director of Changkei Long-term Care Center, further emphasized that dementia care needs to promote "whole-person, full-course, and continuous" care and use technology to assist in reducing the burden on families.

In response to the government's long-term care 3.0 policy, the meeting invited Taichung City Health Director and Section Chief Liu Xinman to analyze local promotion practices and implement them with creative lesson plans and dynamic rehabilitation activities. Chang Kee said that dementia care is not only a medical issue, but also related to the dignity of life of the elderly and the happiness of their families. In the future, we will continue to learn from international experience, cultivate professional talents, deepen cooperation between medical care and long-term care, and establish a more complete community support network so that elderly people with dementia can receive warm care and accompany their families through every warm dementia care process.
