Age Friendly Ireland | International | Age Friendly Demonstrators

Our National Technical Programme Manager, Declan Gaffney was honoured to be in Geneva today representing Age Friendly Ireland at the 79th World Health Assembly at the United Nations. It is an incredible opportunity to connect with both new and long-standing colleagues who share a vision for a more age friendly world.

This vital session was hosted by France, co-hosted by HelpAge International and the International Federation on Ageing, and proudly co-sponsored by a global coalition of nations, Brazil, Egypt, Ireland, Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand. A huge thank you to all the hosts, sponsors, and attendees at the United Nations Palais for such an impactful and forward-looking discussion. We look forward to bringing these global insights back to our work at home.
