to know the social and health responses for the elderly in sub-Saharan Africa.
An integrative literature review.
There is a lack of specialized health care to meet the real needs of the elderly, and the shortage of health professionals does not contribute favorably to this situation. There is a small number of facilities for the elderly and most of them are inadequate. Although there are models of care as well as social and health support policies for the elderly, there are still inequities/inequalities in access to these policies, especially for the most disadvantaged populations.
Social and health policies for the elderly in Sub-Saharan Africa are below standard and appropriate economic, political and social intervention is required.
了解撒哈拉以南非洲地区老年人的社会和健康应对情况。
进行综合文献综述。
缺乏满足老年人实际需求的专业医疗保健服务,卫生专业人员短缺对这种情况没有起到有利作用。老年人设施数量少,且大多数都不完善。尽管有针对老年人的护理模式以及社会和健康支持政策,但在获取这些政策方面仍存在不公平/不平等现象,尤其是对最弱势群体而言。
撒哈拉以南非洲地区针对老年人的社会和健康政策未达标准,需要进行适当的经济、政治和社会干预。
