| Annotation | The emergence of geriatric services in Africa is inevitable. The new millennium offers an opportunity for health care professionals, planners and politicians to collaborate in the development and provision of health care services to older Africans. This opinion paper discusses the options and principles that would be used in such a collaboration. A case is made for an evaluation of African geriatric medicine away from Western (structural) models towards an indigenous specialty model based on systems and processes. (RH). |
