Toulouse health centre to help WHO

Gerontopole Toulouse CHU

The World Health Organisation has chosen the Gerontopole, part of the Toulouse CHU (University hospital) as a centre for research and training in the treatment of elderly populations. The hospital department is recognised for the quality of its work in this field at a time when many countries have an increase in the average age of their population.
The Gerontopole will lead research over the next four years to identify the intrinsic and functional needs and capacities of older people. The WHO considers that most world populations will now expect to have a life span in excess of 60 years and that it is urgent that governments and agencies consider the impact this will have.
