2021 International Day of Older Persons

Recognizing older persons contributions to their own health and the multiple roles they play in the preparedness and response phases of  current and future pandemics is also important.

The 2021 IDOP event focused on the following key functions:

  • Inform participants about the strategic objectives for the Decade of Healthy Ageing

  • Raise awareness of the special health needs of older persons and of their contributions to their own health and to the functioning of the societies in which they live.

  • Increase awareness and appreciation of the role of the health care workforce in maintaining and improving the health of older persons, with special attention to the nursing profession.

  • Increase understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on older persons and its impact on health care policy, planning, and attitudes.

This year’s event is sponsored by First Independent Power Limited (FIPL); and held at Ibimina Polo Community, Creek Road, Port Harcourt Town.
