She helped found Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) in 1984 and, later, Alzheimer France. Under the leadership of Princess Aga Khan, ADI advocated for the development of national plans and supported the efforts of the European Commission. The princess also contributed to the unanimous adoption of the global action plan on dementia in May 2017 at the World Health Organization (WHO)./ La princesse Yasmin Aga Khan a décidé dès l’âge de vingt ans de faire de la lutte contre la maladie d’Alzeihmer le combat de sa vie, frappée par ce trouble neurologique qui emporte progressivement sa mère, la célèbre actrice Rita Hayworth, dans les années 1980. Elle contribue ainsi à la fondation en 1984 de l’organisation Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) et, plus tard, à celle d’Alzheimer France. Sous la direction de la princesse Aga Khan, l’ADI a plaidé en faveur de l’élaboration de plans nationaux et soutenu les efforts de la Commission européenne.
