Its contribution to the global burden of disease is increasing, and the implications of this situation for the future are awe-inspiring. This paper draws from the researchers’ experience and relevant literature to recommend a framework that would guide the development and institutionalization of a specialized system of geriatric care, hereby called <em>emotional geriatric care</em>. The application of this framework by governments and health care organizations is expected to constantly improve care for the elderly as a way of gearing health care administration in response to ageing.}, number={2}, journal={Geriatric Care}, author={Asiamah, Nestor and Azinga, Samuel A.}, year={2017}, month={Jul.} }
