The Who Model of Healthy Ageing and Its Implications
Year: 2017
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: In 2016, the World Health Organization released the World report on ageing and health. The Report outlines a public health framework for action on ageing built around a reconceptualization of Healthy Ageing that focuses on an older person’s ability to do the things they have reason to value, rather than the absence of disease. In 2016, the 194 Member States of WHO used this framework as the basis for the Global strategy and action plan on ageing and health, and numerous initiatives linked to the strategic priorities outlined in this plan are now underway. This presentation will explore the theoretical basis of WHO’s approach and its implications for global policy.
