“India is projected to have a staggering explosion of about 192 million elderly population by 2030!
“India is projected to have a staggering explosion of about 192 million elderly population by 2030! This underscores the critical need to address the shortage of trained and experienced geriatricians in our country. Presently, higher education for geriatrics is almost non-existent in India. Therefore, it is imperative that we appeal to the authorities to take swift action in increasing the number of postgraduate admissions for geriatrics across the country.
This preemptive step is essential to prepare for the impending surge in demand for senior care services in the coming years. Additionally, I would like to encourage young doctors to embrace the field of geriatrics and contribute their expertise to meet the ever-growing needs of senior care in India. By choosing geriatrics as their specialization, these dedicated professionals can make each individual's journey through old age characterized by dignity, comfort, and access to quality healthcare.“
In addition to the authorities' intervention, we call upon India's young doctors to consider pursuing geriatrics as a field of specialization. By dedicating their expertise to the growing need for senior care, these passionate professionals can make a profound difference in the lives of the elderly. Every individual in the country deserves a life of dignity, comfort, and access to quality healthcare in old age, and our young doctors can make this happen by choosing geriatrics as their specialization. Together, let us join forces to address the pressing challenges and create a comfortable future for India's elderly population."
