凯瑞·穆里根 | 为全球痴呆症行动计划发声

I’ve experienced firsthand how devastating dementia can be due to my family’s experience of the disease. It’s for this reason that I am honoured to be the UK’s global dementia friends ambassador.

由于我的家人患有失智症的经历，我亲身体验过这种疾病的可怕性。也正因为如此，我很荣幸被英国政府任命为全球失智症友好大使。

I used to grow up hearing a lot of people referring to their grandparents having lost their marbles, which is of course something that we’d never say about somebody who had cancer, heart disease or other medical conditions. We must do more globally to raise awareness.

长大过程中，我经常听到很多人谈到他们的祖父母会神志不清的情况，失智症绝非我们谈到的某人患癌症、心脏病或其他疾病一样。我们必须努力在全球范围内提高公众意识。

Dementia isn’t just a natural part of aging, it’s a medical condition that we have to address, knowing that dementia is now a global health priority of the World Health Organization and member states gives me optimism that we are on the right course to fight this devastating conditions.

失智症不仅是自然衰老的一部分，它也是我们亟待解决的医疗现状。了解到失智症不仅是世卫组织的全球卫生健康重点，而参与的会员国也让我倍感乐观，因为我们正在正确的道路上与这种令人绝望的疾病作斗争。

I hope government and partners around the world get behind this plan and unite for a world without dementia.

我希望世界各国政府及合作伙伴能支持该项计划，并为一个没有失智症的世界团结起来。
