Professor Tracey Howe, Director of the Cochrane-Campbell Global Ageing Partnership and Co-Chair of the Cochrane Governing Board, has pledged support for the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020-2030) in a video alongside António Guterres, UN Secretary-General; Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General; Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum; Dr Natalia Kanem, Executive Director United Nations Population Fund; the International Federation on Ageing; and HelpAge International.
The Decade of Healthy Ageing aims to bring together governments, civil society, international agencies, professionals, academia, the media, and the private sector to jointly take action in order to improve the lives of older people, their families, and the communities in which they live.
The Cochrane-Campbell Global Ageing Partnership has been actively supporting WHO in preparing for the Decade of Healthy Ageing, which is expected to formally launch via the United Nations in the coming months. We look forward to sharing the outputs of this collaboration in due course.
