Today’s the day!!! #SiLVaH2025 #addinglifetoyears #homemechanicalventilation
@AlisonArmstron kicking off the day!
📊 By 2050, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be over 65. At #IDOP2025 alongside #UNHRC60, I stressed that #digital empowerment for #OlderPersons will be vital to turn ageing into a longevity dividend. 🌍 #AddingLifeToYears

It's #FriendshipDay! 💜
Feeling socially connected is an important part of being human, and improves our health & well-being – no matter what our age.
Take the time to reach out to an older person around you. A simple gesture could make a big difference! #AddingLifeToYears
📢 Stay tuned: later this year we’ll convene the Network of WHO Collaborating Centres for Healthy Ageing to co-create a research agenda that drives progress on the Ageing is Living Strategy across Europe.
Evidence + collaboration = healthier, longer lives. 🌱
