HelpAge India's Elder Help Desk at National Centre for Ageing, Tamil Nadu

Описание: HelpAge India’s Elder Help Desk: Compassion in Action
Imagine walking into a crowded hospital—confused, anxious, struggling to find the right counter, understand the paperwork, or locate the doctor. Now imagine doing all that alone, at 70, 80, or even 90 years old. For many elders in India, this isn’t just a thought—it’s their everyday reality. That’s where HelpAge India’s Elder Help Desk steps in. Located across major government hospitals—from AIIMS Delhi and Rishikesh to SGPGIMS Lucknow, JIPMER Puducherry, NIMS Hyderabad, and more—these help desks have supported over 128k+ elderly in 2024 alone.

At places like the National Centre for Ageing in Chennai, elders receive:
✔️ Wheelchair assistance
✔️ Help with paperwork & registration
✔️ Guidance for consultations and diagnostics
✔️ A friendly face to lean on when they have no one else

Because if navigating healthcare systems feels overwhelming for us, imagine what it’s like for our parents, grandparents, or those without family. Let’s build a society where no elder faces a hospital visit alone.
Let’s stand for dignity. Let’s choose compassion.

Elder Help Desks are operational in:
Delhi (AIIMS), Lucknow (SGPGIMS), Chennai (NCA), Hyderabad (NIMS), Puducherry (JIPMER), Raipur (AIIMS), Rishikesh (AIIMS), Leh (SNM Hospital)
