| Organization Description: |
| Ageing Nepal is a Non-governmental organization working on the issues of ageing population in Nepal. The major working areas of Ageing Nepal are advocacy, research and training. Older people (60+) are more vulnerable to Tuberculosis than people of any other age group. And yet most of the developing countries, including Nepal, do not have policies and programmes to fight TB that are focused on ageing population. So we are campaigning for this issue.Ageing Nepal in partnership with National Tuberculosis Center, Government of Nepal campaigned for older people focused TB control programme on World TB Day 2016 with the slogan "LEAVE NO OLDER PERSON BEHIND WITH TB". Such elderly focused TB control campaign was done for the first time in Nepal. We are planing to campaigning for this issue in collaboration with other organizations working on TB. |
