Health Minister urges Corporates to focus on Elderly Care
New Delhi: “Corporate leaders across all sectors should explore opportunities of investment in the emerging field of senior care.” This was stated by Smt Anupriya Patel, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare during her keynote address at the ‘1st Annual Senior Care Conclave’ organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), here today. Speaking at the function, Smt Anupriya Patel stated that the rapidly changing global demographics have resulted in a sharp rise in the demand for senior care services.
“Health services are to be designed in such a way that there is a complete coordination across the thread of care providers to cure acute conditions and symptoms,” she said. Smt Anupriya Patel also released a CII Report“ Igniting Potential in Senior Care Services” and inaugurated an exhibition at the event.
Speaking at the occasion, Smt Anupriya Patel stated that the rapidly changing global demographics have resulted in a sharp rise in the demand for senior care services. This coupled with an increased life expectancy of the population, and an increased tendency globally to have nuclear families, has further accelerated the growth in the senior care sector, she said.
