Why the Senior Health Booklet?
This booklet offers a structured healthy ageing programme to assist healthcare experts and carers in detecting early functional decline in older adults. Derived from the WHO ICOPE model, SHB facilitates preventative care via uniform screening and education to help older adults keep their independence and quality of life.

Evidence-Informed Healthy Ageing
The SHB curriculum is rooted in the World Health Organization's Integrated Care for Older People guidelines, furthering the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing. It translates these global healthy ageing strategies into a hands-on training for healthcare staff and family carers. Please note: This is an independent initiative not officially endorsed by the WHO or the UN.
