| Annotation | Like many other countries, Ghana is experiencing a demographic transition: the number of older people (age 60+) has increased more than seven-fold since the 1960 census (213,477) to 1,643,381 in the 2010 census. This document was originally prepared as a longer report for the Ghana Ageing and Health Policy Dialogue in 2013. It reviews aspects of physical and mental health, and health systems response and policies, including implementation of Ghana's National Ageing Policy. It proposes five priorities relating to the prevention, treatment and care needs of older people in Ghana. (RH). |
