In alliance with WHO’s Integrated Care for Older People framework, China implemented the Integrated Medical and Social Care Policy (IMSCP) in several cities in 2016. This study, led by Dr. Yao Yao from China Center for Health Development Studies at Peking University, aims to evaluate whether and to what extent the IMSCP has achieved its primary objectives of reducing functional dependency and addressing care needs in Chinese older adults aged 65 years and older.
Agenda:
