Early Dementia Screening for Seniors in Maetan 1-dong

As part of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's early dementia screening project, the Suwon Senior Mental Health Center announced on the 26th that it will conduct dementia screening tests in Maetan 1-dong from the 26th to the 29th.

The early dementia screening targets seniors aged 60 and over residing in Suwon, with seniors aged 75 and over living in Maetan 1-dong selected as priority recipients through advance postal notification.

On the first day of screening on the 26th, many elderly residents visited the community center early in the morning, demonstrating high interest in dementia screening.

The screening consists of a dementia screening test taking approximately 10 minutes per person. If early screening results indicate cognitive decline, diagnostic screening (SNSB) is conducted at Aju Easy Hospital, followed by differential diagnosis through cerebral angiography and blood tests. In cases where dementia is diagnosed, dementia treatment and management expenses are covered, and the center registers and manages cases accordingly.
