Everyone in the society including the voluntary organisations have to work with dedication to help the people suffering from Dementia to fill their hearts with the spirit of self-confidence and self-reliance, said the Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana E.S.L. Narasimhan.
Narasimhan participated as Chief Guest along with Lady Governor Smt. Vimala Narasimhan, at the World Alzheimer’s Day, organised jointly by Telangana chapter of Indian Red Cross Society and Nightingales Trust Dementia Day Care Centre held at Hitech City, Hyderabad.
He said that the service to people suffering from Alzheimer’s is a noble cause and praised the exemplary services provided by the Telangana chapter of Indian Red Cross Society and the Nightingales Medical Trust in this regard.
The Governor said that apart from the voluntary organisations, the corporate sector should also come forward and extend their helping hand for this cause. The Governor gave the call to people to come forward and extend their hand of support to the people suffering from the Alzheimer’s with a human angle in the interest of maintaining value based human relations.
Narasimhan said that it is important to treat parents, elders in the family in need of support with immense love and affection. It is necessary to identify their behaviour and emotions and respond with care and remove the feelings of insecurity and dejection from their minds.
Whenever any signs of anxiety, loneliness and depression are noticed, it is necessary to immediately start the physical fitness activities to make them active under the guidance of medical experts.
