On World Health Day – 7 April – older people will once again stand up for the healthcare issues they believe in, such as the need for more age-friendly health services.

World Health Day theme: Food safety
This year’s World Health Day theme is food safety. A clean environment and food preparation adapted to older people’s needs are paramount to good health.
Ill health and malnourishment can have a direct impact on all aspects of older people’s lives, including their ability to earn a living or care for relatives.
As well as campaigning for age-friendly health services, we’ve asked older people to tell us about their food habits and hygiene.
On 7 April, follow the food safety discussions on Twitter using #safefood.
