Are you interested in making a real difference in humanitarian settings? Mark your calendars for an essential webinar titled "Enhancing Health and Care Integration in Humanitarian Crises," taking place on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, from 8:00 to 9:30 AM EST (Washington DC time). This event aims to address the pressing needs of older populations in contexts marred by crises, where vulnerabilities tend to escalate.

This interactive session builds upon a previous discussion from July 2024, which laid the groundwork for integrating older people's care within community frameworks. The focus this time will shift to understanding the unique challenges faced in humanitarian environments, where inequalities are often magnified.

Why This Matters:

Humanitarian emergencies don't just disrupt lives; they deepen existing disparities, particularly for older adults who often lack access to necessary services. This webinar seeks to explore their rights and needs throughout the cycles of preparedness, immediate response, and recovery. By engaging a broad spectrum of stakeholders, we aim to foster a community of practice that ensures adequate support and resources for older individuals in times of crisis.

What to Expect:

The webinar will feature a series of expert presentations, followed by a reflective dialogue and an open Q&A session. Participants can look forward to actionable insights and the chance to share their experiences, challenges, and effective strategies in supporting older populations during humanitarian crises. AI translation services will be accessible to ensure inclusivity.

Who Should Join:

The event is designed for a diverse audience, including:

- Members of the HelpAge Healthy Aging Platform, comprising over 120 organizations focused on promoting healthy aging.

- Humanitarian partners engaged in direct support operations.

- Representatives from regional offices of PAHO/WHO.

- Experts from international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and health, nutrition, and protection clusters.
