A quarter of a century ago, the first one emerged in the Amsterdam Pijp, now there are 146 all over the country: meeting centers for people with dementia and their informal caregivers.

On Thursday, the official announcement of an international network (\u0026 # x27; MeetingDem Network \u0026 # x27;) will provide even more foundation and, hopefully, the initiators, even more follow-up abroad.
