The worlds population is ageing at an unprecedented rate. By 2030, people aged 60 years and above are expected to outnumber children under the age of 10. As life expectancy continues to increase, societies around the world must adapt to meet the changing needs of older adults.

Healthy ageing is influenced not only by healthcare but also by supportive environments, social connections, economic security, and opportunities to remain active and engaged. Every older person experiences ageing differently, making inclusive and age friendly communities more important than ever.

In Nepal, the ageing population is steadily increasing, creating a growing need for accessible healthcare, community based support, long term care, and policies that promote dignity, independence, and wellbeing for older adults.
