Global Café: Ageism in Health and Care Settings

About this Global Café

Ageism shapes clinical decisions long before a treatment plan is written. This session looks at where age-based assumptions enter health and care pathways, and at the interventions that have measurably shifted them.

Panellists compare training-based approaches with structural ones, and close on what health systems can realistically audit.
