Publication: "Care of Older Persons in Eastern Africa: A Scoping Review of Ethical Issues"
Kirubel Mussie is the lead author of this review article that explores existing evidence addressing the various ethical issues in connection with elder care in the region of Eastern Africa.
Introduction: The aging population is rapidly increasing globally, with 80% of the older population living in low- and middle-income countries. In Eastern African countries, there exists an incongruence between readiness–economically, structurally, politically, and culturally–to create a conducive environment for healthy aging, which implies public health as well as ethical concerns. The aim of this scoping review was to explore existing evidence addressing the various ethical issues in connection with elder care in the region of Eastern Africa.
