Abstract:
In the context of World Alzheimer's Month 2025, this perspective article examines the current state of care continuity for people living with dementia in China and identifies critical gaps in this domain. The article further reviews existing global dementia action plans, highlighting the strategic approaches outlined in China's National Action Plan on Response to Dementia (2024-2030). To transform knowledge into meaningful change, this perspective proposes the 3A approach - Awareness, Attitude, and Action - as a comprehensive guiding framework to strengthen and advance the continuum of care.
