World Report on Ageing and Health

The World Report on Ageing and Health is a comprehensive document created by the World Health Organization that examines how aging populations impact health and societies globally. It highlights challenges older adults face, such as chronic illnesses and limited mobility, and emphasizes the importance of promoting healthy aging through policies, healthcare, and social support. The report aims to guide countries in creating better environments and services that enable older people to live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. It underscores that aging is a natural process and with appropriate care and policy, older adults can remain active and engaged members of society.
