As Pakistan’s older population continues to grow, health systems remain largely age-blind, limiting older people’s access to quality, inclusive healthcare. Through SHIFA, we’re empowering older women and men to actively participate in decisions affecting their own health, establishing Intergenerational Community Associations and introducing social accountability tools in health facilities in targeted areas across Nowshera and Charsadda
By comparing health outcomes between our ICOPE-trained and untrained districts, we’re building the evidence base for standardized geriatric healthcare across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while equipping older people to lead community disaster preparedness and response.
