@IFAgeing @UN Well done @IFAgeing

IFA was pleased to contribute to an event at the margins of the 64th Session of the @UN Commission for Social Development (#CSocD64), focused on building inclusive, rights-based long-term care systems and drawing on Türkiye’s 130-year-old Darülaceze model of compassion and social solidarity. Representing IFA, Dr. @CynthiaStuen emphasized that population ageing is a present reality—and that healthy ageing depends on integrated, age-friendly systems, including accessible long-term care across the life course. Our sincere thanks to @darulaceze and the Permanent Mission of Türkiye to the United Nations, and all co-sponsors and partners for convening such a timely, solutions-focused dialogue. #CSocD64 #LongTermCare #HealthyAgeing #RightsOfOlderPersons
