COMMITTEE ON SENIOR CITIZENS

The Committee on Senior Citizens is committed to improving the quality of life for older adults by ensuring they have access to the resources, support, and opportunities they need to live healthy, active, and fulfilling lives. The Committee's primary responsibility is to advocate for the well-being of senior citizens and create an environment where they are respected, included, and cared for within the community.

A key focus of the Committee is ensuring that senior citizens have access to affordable healthcare, including preventative services, treatment options, and necessary support for managing chronic conditions. The Committee works to improve the healthcare infrastructure, ensuring that medical services, elderly care facilities, and home-based care programs are available and of high quality.

The Committee also advocates for policies that promote financial security for senior citizens. This includes ensuring access to pensions, social security, and other financial assistance programs, as well as supporting initiatives that help seniors maintain financial independence and stability.

Another significant area of focus is the social inclusion of senior citizens. The Committee works to reduce social isolation by promoting activities, events, and social networks that allow older adults to stay engaged with their communities. This includes advocating for recreational programs, senior centers, and volunteer opportunities, as well as supporting the creation of accessible public spaces where seniors can gather and participate in civic life.

In addition, the Committee addresses issues of accessibility and mobility for senior citizens, ensuring that public spaces, transportation, and housing are designed with their needs in mind. It advocates for policies that ensure seniors can easily navigate their communities, whether through improved public transport systems, safer pedestrian pathways, or more accessible housing options.

Through its work, the Committee on Senior Citizens strives to create a society where older adults can age with dignity, independence, and access to the care and opportunities they deserve.
