Geriatric medicine is a medical specialty that is related to the specific health care needs of older adults.
The Indian elderly face several social issues such as loneliness, elder abuse, neglect, lack of income security, and poor access to health care. According to the National Council on Aging, about 92 percent of seniors have at least one chronic disease and 77 percent have at least two. Heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes are among the most common.
Since 2012 we have been providing geriatric care services to the underprivileged elderly in our community. Our geriatric care services are availed by about 1200 persons every month.
