(MENAFN) HelpAge International was announced to have launched an initiative to help millions of elders in Kenya and Mozambique obtain health care services that are reasonable and with high quality.
The project, called Better Health for Older Persons in Africa (BHOPA), will be launched for a period of three years in the African nations.
Jude Otogo, the global charity's regional health program coordinator, explained that "we aim to make health systems more inclusive, responsive and accountable to the needs of older men and women, with a particular focus on those with chronic diseases and disabilities."
Otogo added: "we hope the project will generate robust evidence in order to support advocacy, shape policies and inform program approaches. These will inform scale up and replication not just in the countries of implementation but also in Africa and globally."
