Secondly, healthcare which can be measured by affordability and accessibility has become practically unattainable for the elders who need it most. We in Kenya have experimented with the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) for the elderly with very limited success. Despite the state's efforts to implement safety net programs and health insurance targeting the elderly, more needs to be done. There is a need to introduce sustainable programs such as various forms of subsidies and insurance for the elders. Our collaborative efforts will prove to be a great antidote to their suffering and restore dignity to our elders and our society.
