President Irfaan Ali on Friday pledged to implement more programmes and initiatives to ensure elderly people have more access to medical and social welfare services.
He made the pledge at the annual Christmas luncheon hosted by the Dharm Shala Home of Benevolence for All Races at its King Edward Street, Albouystown complex.
“I want to assure you that in the coming years, we will be working on specific programmes, specific initiatives, to ensure that facilities like these are not only supported, but that the residents are also supported in key and important areas of life like healthcare,” Ali was quoted as saying at the Luncheon by the Department of Public Information (DPI).
