India Geriatric Care Service: Ensuring Dignified Aging for Senior Citizens
India is undergoing rapid demographic transition with its population aging significantly over the past few decades. According to United Nations Population Fund estimates, the number of senior citizens aged 60 years and above in India will grow to around 320 million by 2050 from the current estimate of around 140 million. This will amount to nearly 20% of the country’s projected population being elderly by 2050 compared to just 8% currently.
Overall, the proposed national Geriatric Care Service has the potential to significantly boost India’s preparedness for its upcoming aging boom provided it is effectively implemented. Close stakeholder coordination, adequate resources, standardized protocols and periodic reviews will be crucial for delivering on this vision of ensuring quality care and dignified aging for India’s vast senior population. Implementing such a nationwide program in a phased manner while learning from pilot projects could help address several initial challenges.
