BONUS: The condition killing children at the same rate as cancer

The Briefing

About this episode

Dementia is now Australia’s leading cause of death, and it doesn’t just affect the elderly.  
 
Around 90 kids die from childhood dementia each year in Australia, that’s about the same number of children that die from cancer.  

In this bonus episode of The Briefing, we revisit Antoinette Lattouf’s conversation with Meg Maack - CEO of the Childhood Dementia Initiative and mother to two children with childhood dementia.
