Abstract

AbstractBy 2050, the number of older people in Indonesia will approach 80 million. To enhance the health status of older persons, a referral program of networking hospitals and health clinics have been created. A survey of health centers in 33 provinces found them to be age-friendly. Our evaluation showed that the health status and daily life activity levels of older persons were maintained but depended on the number and dedication of young generations) providing services. Based on the programs reviewed, we conclude that there is national and community awareness of the issues surrounding the provision of care of older persons. However, it seemed that Indonesia is experiencing a decreasing number of the young supporting older persons. Suggestions are provided to reverse this trend to maintain community resilience and sustainability.
