International models. Health care of the elderly in Africa: focus on Ghana.
The African perspective on health is to a great extent linked to the family, which provides most of the care for its sick and elderly population. Few African countries, however, have any formal systems of care for the elderly. Health problems of the elderly in Ghana hinge on ongoing social and economic problems that require government action that begins with a focus early in life.
