3. INTRODUCTION
Over the past few years, the world’s population
has continued on its remarkable transition path
from a state of high birth and death rates to low
birth and death rates coupled with improvement
in health services & standard of living.
At the heart of this transition has been the
growth in the number and proportion of older
persons.
Such a rapid, large and ubiquitous growth has
never been seen in the history of civilization.
The current demographic revolution is predicted
to continue well into the coming centuries.

The past century has seen
remarkable improvements
in life expectancy.
Soon, the world will have
more older people than

The world population is
rapidly ageing.

countries will experience
the most rapid and dramatic
demographic change. 7 Aug 2012 7

India is one of the few
countries in the world where
sex ratio of aged is in favour of
males.
Population above 60 years-
10% suffer from impaired
physical mobility.
10% Hospitalized at given
point of time.
Age more than 70 years-
More than 50% suffer form 1
or more chronic conditions

India has acquired the label of an “ ageing nation” with 7.7% of its population being more than 60 years of age.Demographic transition is attributed to decreasing fertility and mortality.
AGEING IN INDIA: CURRENT SCENARIO: India is in a phase of demographic transition. As per the 1991 census the elderly population in India was 57 million as compared to 20 million in 1951. There has been a sharp increase in the number of elderly persons between 1991 and 2001 and it has been projected that by year 2050, the number of elderly people would rise to about 324 million. India has thus acquired the label of “an ageing nation” with 7.7% of its population being more than 60 years old. The elderly population (aged 60 years or above) account for 7.4% of total population in 2001. For males it was marginally lower at 7.1%, while for females it was 7.8%.
The Technopak report on Age-Sensitive Hospitals: Need and Opportunity states that an absence of human and institutional capacity for geriatric care in the Indian healthcare system contributes to variations in morbidity and access to care. Both outpatient visits and hospitalizations of the 60+ age-group are more than three times that for the general population leading to higher expenditure on healthcare. Almost 20 per cent of doctor’s visits, 30 per cent of hospital days and 50 per cent of bedridden days are related to elderly patients. India’s old are hospitalized for an average of 32 days.
Among states the proportion vary from around 4% in small states like Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Nagaland Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya to more than 10.5% in Kerala.
Specific Objectives of NPHCE are:To provide an easy access to promotional, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services to the elderly through community based primary health care approach.To identify health problems in the elderly and provide appropriate health interventions in the community with a strong referral backup support.To build capacity of the medical and paramedical professionals as well as the care-takers within the family for providing health care to the elderly.To provide referral services to the elderly patients through district hospitals, regional medical institutions.Convergence with National Rural Health Mission, AYUSH and other line departments like Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
Core Strategies to achieve the Objectives of the programme are:Community level - domiciliary visits by trained health care workers.PHC/CHC level - provision of machinery, equipment, training, additional human resources (CHC), IEC, etc.District Hospital -10 bedded wards, additional human resources, machinery & equipment, consumables & drugs, training and IEC.8 Regional Medical Institutes - PG courses in Geriatric Medicine, and in-service training of health personnel at all levels.IEC using mass media, folk media and other communication channels to reach out to the target community.Continuous monitoring and independent evaluation of the Programme and research in Geriatrics and implementation of NPHCE.
PPP:- (Source :- The Technopak report on Age-Sensitive Hospitals June 2012 ) http://pharmabiz.com/NewsDetails.aspx?aid=69430&sid=1In the corporate sector, Apollo Hospital, Chennai has a department of Geriatric Medicine. Hyderabad-based Heritage Hospitals also have a separate geriatric department. Many hospitals in the metro cities including Max, Fortis, Rockland, Pushpanjali, Crosslay and Jaipur Golden in Delhi have started programmes targeting geriatric care. Small standalone geriatric hospitals such as Vindhya Geriatric hospital in Bangalore and Aastha Hospital in Lucknow have been started. There is a huge scope for medical entrepreneurs to look at setting up more, stated Dr PratibhaDabas, principal consultant, Healthcare, Technopak.
IGNOU offer a one year part-time, Post Graduate Diploma in Geriatric Medicine (PGDGM) and IMA AKN Sinha Institute offers a certificate in geriatrics.Source :- The Technopak report on Age-Sensitive Hospitals June 2012
Promotional, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services in an integrated manner for the Elderly in various Government health facilities. The range of services will include health promotion, preventive services, diagnosis and management of geriatric medical problems (out and in-patient), day care services, rehabilitative services and home based care as needed.Districts will be linked to Regional Geriatric Centres for providing tertiary level care.The services under the programme would be integrated below district level and will be integral part of existing primary health care delivery system and vertical at district and above as more specialized health care are needed for the elderly.

Funds from Government of India will be released to the State Health Society.State Health Society will retain funds for state level activity and release GIA to the District Health Societies. NPHCE would operate through NCD cells under the programme constituted at State and District levels and also maintain separate bank accounts at each level. Funds from Health Society will be transferred to the Bank accounts of the NCD cell after requisite approvals at appropriate stage.This system will ensure both convergence as well as independence in achieving programme goals through specific interventions. It is envisaged to merge the programme at State and District into the SHS and DHS respectively in order to ensure sustaining the current momentum and continued focus.
