On behalf of the Party and State, the President underlined that the Party and State always give special attention to the care for the elderly.
He hailed the Hai Duong Association of the Elderly for efforts to diversify its activities, forming 1860 clubs for local senior citizens, helping promote their role in the society, especially in COVID-19 prevention and control.
The President expressed his hope that in the time to come, the Vietnam Association of Elderly at all levels will continue to help implement the Party and State policies on the elderly, while proposing ideas to implement the programme on delivering health care services to the elderly until 2030 and perfect the national target programme on the elderly in the new period.
He asked ministries, sectors, agencies and localities to continue designing suitable policies to adapt to an “era of the elderly” amid the population aging period.
