Efemérides_Outubro-04

Today we observe the International Day of Older Persons, an initiative of the United Nations that we embrace on our Dias D da Ciência at CEDOC.

As we observe this important day, we speak with researcher Helena Canhão, principal investigator of the Epidoc unit at CEDOC, full professor at NOVA Medical School, coordinator of the Comprehensive Health Research Center (CHRC) and of the new Lisbon AHA Reference Center of Rede Repensa. With her we talk about the challenges facing the elderly in Portugal, the disproportionate severity of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and how the Repensa network intends to address this and promote healthy and active aging in Portugal.
