This is the official website for the WHO division charged with policy development for the health of older persons. WHO works with Member States, UN agencies and diverse stakeholders from various sectors to foster healthy ageing in every country. WHO does this work in line with the Global strategy and action plan on ageing and health 2016–2020 and the related UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021–2030) in the following four action areas: 1) change how we think, feel and act towards age and ageing; 2) ensure that communities foster the abilities of older people; 3) deliver person-centred integrated care and primary health services responsive to older people; and 4) provide access to long-term care for older people who need it.
