Neglect and abuse of older people in Nepal: a commentary on "A baseline study on reported cases of elder abuse in Nepali press".
Little is known about elder abuse in Nepal. To gain further insights, the National Human Rights Commission in association with the Geriatric Center in Nepal published a report that analyzes all cases of older people's abuse published in two daily newspapers in Nepal over a 2-year period. This commentary discusses the main findings of the report, as well as future directions.
