First Best Domiciliary Home Care World, an international Nongovernmental organisation, weekend, unveiled plans to increase the life expectancy of the old and aged people in Anambra State through professional care-giving.

Arc Mike Nwafor, who disclosed this at unveiling of the programme in Awka, Anambra State, announced that the project would equally end the rituals of what he described as multiple burials every weekend for happier society.

Nwafor, who was chairman of the occasion, stated that frequent deaths in Africa especially in Nigeria and Anambra State, were caused by uncaring attitudes and assault on mental and physical health of the aged, thereby leading to their deaths, and abandoning of the children without care.

"The consequence is the unimaginable assault on the mental and physical
health of the aged, gross reduction in our life expectancy and young people that will be left without parental care at their young adult age," he maintained.

Also speaking, an international Director of the organisation and United States of America-based clinical psychologist, Prof Kanayo Ofodile explained that the programme was designed to take care of the aged people in the state, who are abandoned by their children.

According to him, "Many aged persons are homeless, abandoned, lonely, unhealthy and unkempt, hence, the establishment of this organisation. We will be going around the state to pick up and cater to abandoned aged persons. Our trained social officers will be going to give home care to those who crave such services. We will be applying spirituality, clinical formulation and reasoning to improve the lives of the aged."

Contributing, the Director, Care Services of First Best Domiciliary Home Care World, Mr Ekene Mbah, urged government and individuals to support the organisation to make the dream a reality as it would employ a new approach to taking care of the homes of the aged to cater for their needs and improve their lives.

On his part, the Traditional Ruler of Ifitedunu, Dunukofia Local Government Area, Igwe Emeka Ilouno of Ifitedunu, hailed the programme, describing it as laudable, because according to him, the elderly are dying of loneliness and depression.

Earlier, the Anambra State Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, pledged the government unalloyed support to the project, which according to him, were parts of governor Chukwuma Soludo's project geared towards making Anambra State liveable and prosperous.

So other areas where these things don't happen don't do burials or people don't die in other places

Some of you are just quick to show how you barely understand anything. Aged people will eventually die. The life expectancy in this country as at 2020 is 52 years which is largely due to the poor health infrastructure in the country. The post is about aged people but some of you will not all your brains reason properly due to what bigotry has done
