Abstract

As the older population increases, there is a need to strengthen policies regarding healthy aging. This study aims to provide input for the preparation of the Background Study for the 2025–2029 National Medium Term Development Plan. This research uses mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative), with primary and secondary data sources. Five provinces were selected (one city and one district). Data was collected from Japan, Viet Nam, and Thailand. There are strategic issues related to improving the integrated health of older persons, namely facilities, services, human resources, financing, family and community participation, institutions, and integrated data. The recommendations are to increase: the number, quality, and distribution of health facilities and health human resources; health financing; family and community participation; revitalise and strengthen older persons’ institutions, especially age-friendly service providers; health regulations; and the dissemination of health information at all levels of services. Strengthening the health system through improving health status and the quality of health services aims to increase life expectancy.
