Conhecer as respostas sociais e de saúde para os idosos na África Subsaariana. Métodos:
Revisão integrativa da literatura. Resultados: Há falta de cuidados de saúde especializados e
direcionados às reais necessidades dos idosos, sendo que a escassez de profissionais de saúde
não contribui favoravelmente para essa situação. Verifica-se baixa oferta de instalações destinadas
aos idosos, e a maioria delas são básicas. Apesar de existirem modelos de cuidados para os idosos
e políticas de apoio social e de saúde, ainda há iniquidades/desigualdades no acesso a elas,
sobretudo para as populações mais desfavorecidas. Conclusão: As políticas sociais e de saúde
para os idosos na África Subsaariana estão aquém das necessidades, sendo preciso garantir uma
intervenção econômica, política e social adequada
An integrative literature review. Results: There is a lack of specialized health care to meet the real needs of the elderly, and the shortage of health professionals does not contribute favorably to this situation. There is a small number of facilities for the elderly and most of them are inadequate. Although there are models of care as well as social and health support policies for the elderly, there are still inequities/inequalities in access to these policies, especially for the most disadvantaged populations. Conclusion: Social and health policies for the elderly in Sub-Saharan Africa are below standard and appropriate economic, political and social intervention is required.
