Abstract
Improving healthcare and living conditions has led to an increase in life expectancies and challenges of population aging in Malaysia. The Advanced Memory and Cognitive Service builds on integrated healthcare among multidisciplinary specialists to provide holistic and patient-centred healthcare. The service treats older adults experiencing neurocognitive impairment as well as young individuals with complex neurocognitive disorders and thoroughly screens asymptomatic individuals at high risk of developing neurocognitive disorders. This early intervention strategy is a preventive effort in the hope of reducing disease burden and improving quality of life to prepare Malaysia for the forthcoming population aging.
