The situation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Bangladesh is investigated in this study, which depicted the overall condition in the country to treat AD affected individuals. Our team performed a brief online survey on the institutions and hospitals dealing with the mental health related issues to find expertise among the practitioners on AD. A survey was also done on the syllabus of trained caregivers such as nurses, or any other group of people receiving training on handling AD patients. There are nontrivial issues needed immediate attention from the government such as national policy for senior citizens that have facilities for AD affected people, specific training module to handle AD patients, and specific expertise to treat AD patients. This study also suggests taking initiatives to a broad level to make people aware of this disease, starting with acknowledging AD as a disease rather than being a generalized mental disorder.
