World Health Day 2012

-
The Global brief for World Health Day 2012 takes a fresh look at health data on ageing to help us better understand the needs of older people. Sections include key points, the demographics of ageing and the epidemiology of population ageing. The document also outlines four key actions that governments and societies can take now for healthier and more active ageing.Good health is important. Healthy people are able to work and look after their families and healthy children are able to learn at school and gain the skills to escape poverty. 

Promoting good heath in developing countries, including through support for routine immunisation and stronger health systems, is a priority of Australia’s aid program. In 2011-12, AusAID will contribute around $759 million to improve the health of the world’s poorest people. On World Health Day, 7 April, AusAID is marking the successes Australian support has helped to achieve and drawing attention to our ongoing efforts to improve healthcare, particularly in the Asia Pacific.
