This World Health Day, on 7 April, the HelpAge network comes together for Age Demands Action on Health where we all campaign for people’s health and wellbeing.
This year campaigners in more than 40 countries will meet high level officials such as Health Ministers, speak to the media, take part in marches and tweet their decision-makers – calling for affordable and accessible health care for people of ALL ages.
And YOU can play an important part too!
Take part in our Twitter campaign
This year campaigners in six countries will tweet their health ministers and decision makers to put pressure on them about better healthcare for older people.
If you have a Twitter account then please join the campaign!
