| dc.description.abstract | In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched their first World Report on Ageing and Health (World Report). The World Report “outlines a framework for action to foster Healthy Ageing built around the new concept of functional ability”. In the fall of the same year, the WHO also started consultations on the accompanying draft Global Strategy and Action Plan on Ageing and Health (GSAP). This document, which was ultimately approved by the World Health Assembly in May 2016, focuses on five strategic objectives: commitment to action on Healthy Ageing in every country; developing age-friendly environments; aligning health systems to the needs of older populations; developing sustainable and equitable systems for providing long-term care (home, communities, institutions); and improving measurement, monitoring and research on Healthy Ageing. | |
