Ngo Trong Vinh, VAE Vice Chairman and permanent deputy head of the Steering Board for the month, said the month will promote the role of senior citizens while providing timely and proper care for elderly living in need.
This year’s action month will focus on raising public awareness and attracting social resources to care for elderly living in especially difficult circumstances.
The VAE chapters will raise public funding to improve the lives of disadvantaged older people in ethnic, border and island areas.
As a joint effort with the health sector and other agencies, free health check-ups and cultural and sporting events will also be made available.
