View/ Open
Abstract
The increase in ageing populations around the world has brought new focus to the particular health needs of the elderly. This manual is meant to be a teaching aid for trainers of community health workers who will be then able to identify the elderly in their community, recognize their specific health needs, and, if necessary, refer them for medical attention. The manual contains a section on teaching methods and is presented in the form of modules which break the responsibilities down into specific tasks for the community health workersCitation
