WHO Ageing and Health Unit

The WHO Ageing and Health Unit is part of the World Health Organization that focuses on improving the health and well-being of older adults worldwide. It works to understand how aging affects health, develop policies to support healthy aging, and promote solutions to challenges like chronic diseases, mobility, and social inclusion. The unit aims to help countries create age-friendly environments where older people can live active, healthy, and independent lives. Its efforts include research, setting global standards, and supporting programs to ensure aging populations are supported with dignity and respect.
