Discussion on Comprehensive Assistance and Services for the Elderly

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Regional Office for the Western Pacific has developed the Healthy Aging 2021-2030 plan and recommended its implementation by member countries. In response, Mongolia is working on the development and approval of a national plan to support healthy aging.

 

As part of this initiative, Mikiko Kanda, the lead of the WHO Western Pacific Region’s Healthy Aging program, and April Sivon, a specialist in the program, have been providing technical advice to Mongolia in the development of its healthy aging action plan.

 

They were received by officials from the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection for a meeting.

 

During the meeting, discussions centered on developing a medium-term plan within the WHO-approved Healthy Aging framework, providing comprehensive assistance and services to the elderly, and improving inter-sectoral coordination.
