Hey there! Did you hear the exciting news? 🎉 A Chinese doctor named Dr. Wang Huali just won a big award from the World Health Organization (WHO)! 🏆 She’s been doing amazing work to help older people stay healthy.
At a special ceremony during the 78th World Health Assembly, Dr. Wang received the “His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Prize for the Promotion of Healthy Aging”. That’s a really big honor! 🥇
So, what did Dr. Wang do to earn this award? Well, she’s been working hard to help people understand and care for dementia. Dementia is an illness that can make it hard for older people to remember things or think clearly. 🧠
Dr. Wang has been helping to create plans and programs in China to support people with dementia and their families. She even helped write the “National Action Plan to Address Dementia in Old Age”. 📋
But that’s not all! She worked with the WHO to make global guidelines to help people all around the world. 🌍 She also helped start an online course called iSupport to teach people how to care for loved ones with dementia. 💻
Dr. Wang said that this award isn’t just for her, but for everyone working to prevent and control dementia in China and around the world. She wants to keep working with her team to help older adults stay healthy and happy. 😊
She also believes it’s super important for countries to work together to face the challenges of an aging population. That’s when there are more older people in a country. 👵👴
Isn’t it inspiring to see someone making such a big difference in the world? Maybe someday, you can help people too! 💖
