The growth of elderly population over the next two decades, and the current challenges related to provision of services and care for this group, as well as insufficiency of geriatrics specialists, barriers to implementing home-based health care programs, and deficiencies in social protection laws, have turned the elderly issues into one of the most important demographic concerns ofthe health system. The Health and International Cooperation Group in partnership with the Elderly Health Office of MOHME, the Scientific Association of the Elderly of Iran and the United Nations Population Fund, has identified nine key challenges and provided appropriated solutions in the form of a Policy brief on Aging. |
