17 What is WHO doing on ageing?
World Report on Ageing and Health (2015) Global Strategy and Action Plan (2016) Supporting member states - Knowledge Translation models (Ghana 2013, China 2014, ? 2015) Normative work (Frailty, Long term care, Workforce) Other initiatives (Dementia, Age-friendly Cities, Technical Innovation, hearing impairment, SAGE etc)

18 Ageing and Health Program of Work – How?
A “one-Organization” response is the best way to use the limited internal resources that will be available to tackle ageing issues. Since many of the concrete products required are beyond the capacity of WHO, a core early goal should be to establish global platforms that enable external partnerships.
