Description
The World Report on Ageing and Health provides a comprehensive framework for fostering Healthy Ageing. It challenges traditional disease-based curative models by promoting older-person-centred and integrated care. This report offers practical recommendations for transforming health systems, developing long-term care systems, and coordinating responses across sectors and government levels. By examining the latest evidence on the ageing process, the report dispels outdated stereotypes and provides forward-looking yet eminently practical solutions. Examples from different countries illustrate how specific problems can be addressed through innovation and solution-finding. This report is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the challenges and opportunities of Healthy Ageing.
