UN organizations launch new initiative to improve the lives of older people
The United Nations General Assembly today declared 2021-2030 the Decade of Healthy Ageing. Today s announcement of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing sends a clear signal that it is only by working as one, within the United Nations system and with governments, civil society and the private sector, that we will be able to not only add years to life, but also life to years, said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, in response to today s development. By adopting a UN-wide approach in support of healthy aging, we will be able to galvanize international action to improve the lives of older people, their families and communities, both during the COVID-19 pandemic, and beyond, added Dr Etienne Krug, Director of the Department of Social Determinants of Health at WHO.
