Caring for the elderly: problems and priorities.
In view of the projected massive increase in the number of the very aged, all health-care agencies, professionals and the government must develop an acceptable strategy of care. With a positive attitude towards aging based on facts and knowledge, the burden of such a demographic change can be minimized. Perhaps a dedicated government department or even a separate ministry may be useful.
