The Toyin Ajala One: Why Dementia is Increasing in Africa | one2one (S3 E1)

Dementia is increasing across Africa — but why?Is it because more people are developing dementia, or because more cases are finally being recognised?Dementia is often seen as a Western problem, but both the number of cases and the diagnosis of dementia are rising rapidly across Africa as healthcare systems struggle to respond. Improved community awareness and better recognition by trained professionals mean more cases are finally being diagnosed — especially as populations age and conditions like diabetes and hypertension become more common. 🎯 In this insightful One2One conversation, Dr Toyin Ajala — Geriatrician and Founder of JBS Gerontology Centre — joins host Tokunbo Shitta-Bey to explore: • The origins of dementia and its link with ageing. • How lifestyle and chronic disease contribute to dementia risk. • The human cost for families and communities. • What Africa’s healthcare systems must do to prepare for an ageing population. • How she managed to establish JBS Gerontology Centre and why it matters.🔥 A must-watch for healthcare leaders, policymakers, and families across Africa.📌 The Toyin Ajala One is part of a One2One Special Series on "Designing the Future of African Healthcare".ℹ️ About One2One:One2One ("The One2One Show") is a Nigerian television interview and talk show hosted by Tokunbo Shitta-Bey and broadcast internationally as an audio and video podcast.Tokunbo Shitta-Bey engages thinkers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, athletes, entertainers, scientists and business leaders in "game-changing discussions on the BIG IDEAS that shape our thinking and help move society forward".
