Join the Movement for Health Equity!

Mark your calendars for April 15th! From 8:00 to 9:30 AM EST, we're diving into a pivotal discussion about strengthening integrated health and care approaches specifically for older persons in humanitarian settings.

A Crucial Conversation

This dynamic webinar builds upon an earlier session from July 2024, where we explored adapting Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) to community settings. Now, as humanitarian crises continue to challenge vulnerable populations, there's an urgent need to address the unique rights and needs of older adults throughout all phases of humanitarian response—preparation, response, and recovery.

Addressing Inequities in Crisis

The stark realities of humanitarian settings often exacerbate inequalities that existed before crises, placing older persons at even greater risk. This discussion, supported by PAHO and involving experts from PAHO-Venezuela and PAHO-HQ, will shed light on how we can better support this demographic.
