This policy brief highlights the importance of securing access to long-term care (LTC) as an integral part of universal social protection systems. Access to LTC should be approached as a rights-based issue, essential for enabling older persons with functional impairments to enjoy other human rights. Despite its importance, only half of the world’s older population lives in countries with statutory LTC services, leading to inconsistent and often inadequate care. Effective LTC financing strategies, such as dedicated schemes, top-up pension benefits, and integration within social health protection packages, are crucial for providing comprehensive and financially protected care.<\/p>\n

Addressing knowledge gaps, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, is essential for developing evidence-based policies. The brief calls for universal health coverage and expanded social health protection, especially for groups most affected by climate change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
