Iran

February 2008

According to the Ladies Charitable Society, the situation for older people in Iran is improving. More than 3,000 LCS volunteers support the elderly in facilities where they have access to care, leisure, education and religious activities. In 1999, LCS organized the “First International Ageing Conference of Iran,” successfully putting aging on the agenda of the Iranian government. As a result, the Parliament formed an Ageing Committee and the Iranian School of Medical Science opened a Department of Geriatrics. 

Here are some pictures of older persons in Iran.
