Bajans aged over 70 expected to triple in next 2 decades

New university research is projecting that the number of Barbadians over age 70 in the country will triple in the next two decades.

That was the word of Director of Medical Services at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Dr. Anthony Harris who notes that the Chronic Disease Research Centre has been on top of this rapidly ageing medical study of the population.

He says to attend to this will call for proper strategic planning.

Mr. Harris made the remarks during the Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s the Pulse radio show on Quality 100.7 F.M.

Mr. Harris says the QEH has been putting a lot of emphasis on developing its sub-specialist areas which should improve service from a number of departments including the Accident and Emergency.
