Amrita Patil Pimpale

All the proceeds of this workshop will go to Bombay Masonic Benevolent Fund (BMBF), which is also the organising body. P Venkatraman, trustee, tells us, “I am a Freemason — a member of the Freemasonry brotherhood, which has been operational globally for more than 300 years. One disease that we have been working towards under BMBF is dementia, not only because it is an old and prevalent condition but also because it is on the rise. We want to use these funds to take the cause a step further in the right direction.”

The workshop will firstly help create awareness about recognising the symptoms. Secondly, the speakers will focus on the treatment plan, debunking the myths and half-truths regarding exercises and medicines that claim to put a stop the progression or the symptoms; dementia is a progressive and incurable disease. The third part will be about how to take care of the patient. “When we know the right ways to tackle this disease and slow down its symptoms, we stop looking at it as burdensome,” Pimpale signs off.
