More than 500 population officials in Nghe An improved communication skills about the elderly
On the morning of November 27, the Population Department organized a training course on communication skills on elderly health care for population officials at district and commune levels.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Hoang Dinh Tung - Head of the Population Department reviewed the population work in Nghe An in recent years, including a number of difficulties and problems. These include the high birth rate and third child birth rate, the alarming gender imbalance rate, the low rate of couples of childbearing age using population measures and the low rate ofpopulation agingincrease rapidly.
Mr. Hoang Dinh Tung also said that increased life expectancy is one of the great achievements in economic development in general and health care in particular. However, the rapid aging of the population poses great challenges in the need to change the social security system, especially the health care system for the elderly.
Meanwhile, in Nghe An, although the proportion of elderly people in the province is high, accounting for 12.13% of the province's population, the vast majority of elderly people in Nghe An mainly live in rural areas, and their material life still faces many difficulties.

The construction of a friendly environment and the systematic implementation of health care services for the elderly in the community have not received proper investment and have not adapted to the rapid population aging rate in the current period.
With the desire to promote health care for the elderly, the communication skills training session for more than 500 officials and population officers at district and commune levels will provide population workers with some policies on health care for the elderly; communicate health-related content for the elderly; and common diseases of the elderly.
In addition, it also provides basic knowledge and skills in communication work to help improve the effectiveness of propaganda work at the grassroots level. This is also a premise for people working in population work at medical centers and health stations to have information to advise local authorities on the issue of caring for the elderly in the community, contributing to the implementation of the elderly health care plan in Nghe An province until 2030./.
