<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to bring to your attention an important and urgent
issue for aging care and research.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It turns out that in the forthcoming work program of the
World Health Organization (WHO) for the next 5 years – 2018-2023 – the issue of
aging and aging-related ill health is excluded completely! This means that,
within the next 5 years, according to this document, the World Health
Organization is not obliged to do anything to care for the health of older
persons or to improve their health, not to mention conduct any research and
development to create new therapies and technologies for improving the health
of the aged, or any kind of longevity research. The issues of aged health are
not in the WHO work program! This is the essence of ageism in health care and
health research!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, the WHO conducts a public consultation about the
draft Work Program. Please use the link below to participate in the
consultation! Please explain to the World Health Organization that the issue of
Aging is important, and the care and improvement of health of the aged, also
through increasing biomedical R&D of aging, are important! The consultation
fields are easy to fill in, and even a couple of sentences, with your
affiliation, could help break the ageist wall! <b>The consultation takes place
until November 15</b>. Please also spread the word in your circles. Thank you for
your action!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the words of Jane Barratt, Secretary General of the
International Federation on Ageing (IFA) that brings this issue to the
highlight of global public discussion: “We urge the WHO to rectify the glaring
omission of population ageing and older people in the draft 13th General
Programme of Work. It is a striking oversight that will diminish its
credibility among all of us. Make your voice heard bit.”</p>
