Yesterday was World Health Day which means the World Health Organization celebrated its founding sixty four years ago. This year's World Health Day activities focused on the theme of aging since the WHO estimates by 2050 there will be 400 million people that will be eighty or older compared to 14 million in the 1950s. They promoted the fact that older people can still make a contribution to society despite they physical appearance and disabilities. It also noted that governments should take a greater role in helping out the elderly to help them be healthier and living longer.
