Prioritizing the Implementation of Ghana's National Aging Policy
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
I’m writing to express my concerns regarding Ghana’s 2010 National Aging Policy’s implementation delay. This policy was designed to tackle the challenges that older people confront in the country, such as poverty, a lack of access to healthcare, and a lack of social support. Despite being adopted over a decade ago, it has failed to be fully implemented, leaving senior Ghanaians with several challenges.
