Abstract

This paper addresses itself to the problems faced by the aged with regards to the use and availability of health services in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The paper maintained that the development of a sound public policy on ageing in SSA requires two types of knowledge; an understading of what consequences will follow from a particular course of action, and an evaluation of the desirability of those consequences. It concluded that there is a need to improve the database that will form a basis for any policy prescription that is geared towards alleviating the problems of the aged in this sub-region.
