Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton is imploring families and communities to take responsibility for the care of senior citizens.
He urged families not to abandon their older relatives in hospitals or alone at home.
“You were given birth by someone; you were cared for by someone and if that someone is alive, whether blood relative, parent or guardian, look out for them and provide them with the support they need,” he said.
