Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Special Rapporteur points to the importance of increasing awareness and empowering of older persons in order to strengthen their participation in health policymaking and build networks of older persons through which health information can be more easily accessed. It is also important that older persons are in a position to fully understand health information and make voluntary and informed decisions based on that information. It is the duty of the State to find and implement new and innovative ways to reach out to older persons, identify age-friendly means to disseminate health-related information and encourage their participation.
