Healthy Ageing and Empowered Living
India is ageing fast. Very soon as the country will rank first in global population, it will also become home to nearly 32 crore elderly people (above 60 years). Thanks to the tremendous advancements in healthcare sector, we have a higher life expectancy today. But the question is, are we ageing well? Along with the longer life, our elderly population is forced to bear the brunt of chronic illnesses and rising medical expenditure. The quality of ageing has drastic impact on not just the individual but the overall economic and social status of the nation.
