Brain Bank Singapore

As Alzheimer’s Awareness Month draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back at the Singapore Sea Regatta (SSR), organised by IHH Healthcare, earlier this month. Swipe left to catch the action from the races and performances! 🐉🪘🚣‍♀️🎶🌊

This year’s Singapore Sea Regatta placed dementia awareness and the vital role of caregivers at the heart of the event. We’re grateful for the passion and energy of everyone who took part, and for IHH Healthcare Singapore's commitment to shining a light on people living with dementia. 🫶

We were proud to be part of SSR, connecting with the community and sharing our role in advancing awareness and understanding of brain health and dementia.

Here’s to keeping the conversation going beyond Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. 💜

Ageing well is about more than growing older. It’s about living well, staying connected and making a difference.

We’re excited to be part of ELDEX Asia this weekend, where people come together to discover ideas, services and opportunities that support meaningful ageing and an active lifestyle.

🧠 Come visit our Brain Bank Singapore booth and say hello! We’ll be there to share more about brain health and how post-mortem brain tissue contribute to research for future generations.

💜 This World Alzheimer’s Day, let’s take a moment to learn, understand and show compassion towards people living with dementia and those who care for them.
