Pakistan is in all sorts of troubles these days. Forget seasonal floods and violent insurgency, there's much more to lament upon.

Measles is already playing a spoilsport in the region and now, the nation is going edgy over the threat of Alzheimer's. In this regard, experts have advised Pakistanis to stay cautious and vigilant over the matter. In addition, it has been suggested by health officials that Pakistanis people should take good care of their mental and physical health and activities.

These suggestions have been proffered in order to thwart the possibilities of Alzheimer disease.

Experts were of the opinion that individuals who remain inactive during their free time are nearly four-times more vulnerable to the mind-stealing and grave-inspiring Alzheimer's.

On Wednesday, the "World Alzheimer's Day" was celebrated by Shifa International Hospital (SIH). In their dialogue at a seminary organized for spreading awareness among public, various consultant neurologists and general medical practitioners urged the Government to formulate nursing homes and clinics for better serving people struggling against dementia.

The group of medical experts consisted of Dr. Ismail Khatri, SIH's Head of Neurology; Prof. Mohammad Tariq from Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS); and SIH neurologists Dr. Azhar Saeed and Dr. Arsalan Ahmad.
