WORKSHOP ON HEALTH, WELFARE AND HUMAN RIGHTS OF OLDER PERSONS IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION
Thiruvananthapuram, India, 5–7 March 2012 

Deadline for submissions: 31 December 2011 
Centre for Gerontological Studies, Trivandrum, India is holding this Workshop on Human Rights of Older Persons in the Asia-Pacific region with a focus on health and wellbeing. The Workshop will enquire into the availability and use of health care and social support systems for Older Persons in this region and the opportunities for them to avail these. As the Asia Pacific Countries account for the lion's share of the old in the world, focus on this region was found to be most appropriate and relevant. 

There is no Registration Fee for overseas participants.  Those who are interested in the Workshop should send their enquiries as early as possible but not later than December 31, 2011 to Dr. PKB Nayar, Coordinator of the Workshop.
