| Building and Implementing a New Agenda on Healthy Ageing |
Facilitated by Dr Ritu Sadana, Department of Ageing and Life Course, World Health Organization, Switzerland This session will consider approaches to create new evidence to inform policy and practice on healthy ageing. The context is a new paradigm on healthy ageing, as promoted by the World Report on Ageing and Health (2015), with the opportunity to galvanize global action, within a new WHO global strategy and action plan on ageing and health (expected in 2016). Working groups will identify challenges that could be addressed in the next 5 years, to initiate a major shift from condition-specific research, to person-centred research on healthy ageing. Reports from each group will help hone the agenda setting questions to build partnerships, resources and capacities, and bridge the science – policy gap. Breakout groups chaired by:
