Accessibility of Dementia Support Services Across Urban and Rural Areas

World Health Organization data on the accessibility of community-based activities of daily living support services for people with dementia. The dataset covers capital cities, main cities, and rural areas, facilitating comparisons of service availability across different geographic settings. It was produced by the WHO Global Health Observatory.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative World Health Organization.
• Enables structured comparison across three distinct geographic settings: capital, main cities, and rural areas.

Limitations

• The specific number of countries, rows, and measurement years is unknown.
