Investing in brain health is critical to individual well-being as well as to the sustainable development of all human beings. From the first thousand days of life, through all of stages of our life, our one rain is the source of creativity, resilience and human relationships. And thus, the health of our brain should be top of mind.Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General
