Description
Anders Gustavsson and thirteen co-authors survey memory clinics in the Nordic countries on the strain of new Alzheimer's drugs, in a 2025 conference paper. The new drugs can slow the disease in its mild stage, a first for care. But they demand far more scans, tests, and watch over patients than clinics now give.
The team polled twelve clinics in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway on staff, patient counts, and gear. Clinics now see only a few of the people who could gain from the drugs. Most such patients stay with family doctors and never reach a clinic. Wait times for scans are long. The authors warn that health systems must grow clinic space fast or most patients will miss the new care.
