The world stands on the threshold of a great demographic transformation. The number of people aged 65 or older is projected to grow from an estimated 524 million in 2010 to nearly 1.5 billion in 2050. From China to South Africa, across urban, rural and conflict affected settings, ever-growing ageing communities face challenges and foster new opportunities for effective care.

This 2017 flagship conference will provide an international panel of experts to open debates around 

• access to medicines
• innovations for chronic conditions,
• work and retirement around the world, 
• HIV and ageing,
• older peoples’ vulnerabilities in armed conflicts
• future policies for dementia care.
