The municipal executive of Braga will analyze next Monday, at a Chamber meeting, the proposal for the implementation of the Longevity Plan/Gerontological Plan 2024-2027, approved by the Braga Social Network.
“The plan asserts itself as a fundamental tool to meet the specific needs of the older population in local contexts, promoting their well-being, autonomy and quality of life”, explains the municipality in a statement.
The municipality ensures that “it will therefore be better able to face the challenges of an aging population, creating an inclusive environment and optimizing the quality of life of all its residents, regardless of age”.
Promoting active and healthy aging, transforming Braga into an “age-friendly” municipality and promoting innovation and optimization of resources and services in the area of aging are the general objectives of this plan.
The characterization of the municipality of Braga – which included the analysis of demographic aspects, social and health resources and multidimensional gerontological assessment – “allows us to identify needs and opportunities that highlight the relevance of developing municipal policies with a view to promoting active aging and healthy”.
“In this sense, the plan, as an instrument for planning and strategic development in the context of aging and human longevity, is articulated with other similar instruments of the municipality, namely the Municipal Health Plan 2021-2026, the Municipal Plan for Equality and Non-Discrimination 2022-2027 and the Municipal Plan for the Integration of Migrants 2022”, concludes the municipality.
