In collaboration with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Brain Health Diplomacy Working Group (Dawson and Booi, Co-Leads), we convened a steering committee comprised of a multinational, multidisciplinary group of experts from neuroscience, health policy, medicine, and diplomacy who launched a brain health diplomacy agenda to support the global challenge of brain health.
Support from the Latin American Brain Health Institute (BrainLat) allowed our team to build and test the Brain Health Diplomat’s Toolkit for Latin America and the Caribbean Region. The Toolkit is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and offers a practical guide for brain health professionals and other allied disciplines, in particular future leaders in the early stages of their careers, to support collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and national borders to build greater equity in brain health.
