The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS) have signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize their collaboration and exchange aimed at improving care for healthy ageing. The EuGMS is a non-profit international association dedicated to promoting geriatric medicine in Europe as an independent specialty that cares for older people with age-related diseases. The MoU outlines their commitment to raising awareness about the importance of re-orienting health and social care services to promote the continuum of quality, integrated health and long-term care needed for healthy ageing. They will also work on building the capacities and skills of health and care workers on the principles of geriatric medicine and the WHO Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) approach. This partnership aims to improve care for older persons in multiple countries and is part of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing.
