| Summary: | The populations of both developed and
developing countries are aging, a trend that means that all
countries need to pay particular attention to providing
health and social care to the elderly. The aging of the
population is one of the key global drivers for integration
of care. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases and
comorbidities requires more coordination across care
providers and settings. Improving health and social services
for elderly people is one of the priorities for the
government of the Russian Federation. This report attempts
to address that gap by presenting the results of a study
conducted in three Russian regions to assess the needs of
the elderly for integrated health and social services. The
main objective of this study is to find out to what extent
the national social and health care policies targeting the
elderly meet their needs and consider their abilities. |
