The ICOPE training module for frontline health workers (FLHWs) offers a comprehensive approach to short-term human resource development, with a focus on the care of older people at the primary level. The information on old-age care provided in the module is intended for integration into the daily practice of FLHWs. It equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to address ageing-related issues and deliver holistic, person-centred care that enhances the quality of life of older adults.
