Objective
United for Cognitive Health (UCH) is a youth-led global health equity initiative focused on early detection and awareness of Alzheimer’s Disease in underserved communities. Through free medical camps, culturally tailored workshops, and neurologist referrals, we’ve screened over 3000+ patients in New Delhi and connected 300+ to critical treatment. By combining medical insight, youth leadership, and cross-continental collaboration, we aim to break stigma and close the care gap in dementia diagnosis. At the heart of UCH is our belief that youth voices can reimagine a healthcare system that sees every mind with dignity.
3000+ Patients Screened & Connected to Care
30+ Volunteers & Medical Professionals
Workshops Reaching 200+ Healthcare Workers

Why is this important?
"Nearly 80% of dementia cases in low- and middle-income countries go undiagnosed, often due to stigma, lack of awareness, and limited access to specialists" - World Health Organization (WHO)
In India, stigma, misinformation, and barriers to care leave thousands without support. Our initiative addresses this urgent gap by offering free, community-based screenings, education, and connections to neurologists—empowering families with the tools and access they need to take action early.
