Helping people stay in charge of their own lives for as long as possible as they age
A society for all ages enables several generations to invest in one another and share in the fruits of that investment.
It is a society in which the respect, equality, independence, participation, care, self-fulfilment and dignity of senior citizens will be pursued at all times. Through the National Strategic Policy for Active Ageing: Malta 2023-2030 , Government commits itself towards achieving a society for all ages and ensuring that our nation adopts specific measures that will transform Malta into an age-friendly nation.
