ABSTRACT Healthcare continues to pose a major challenge for developing countries. The successes of individual health programmes remain overshadowed by the problems these nations face in the 21st century. With a falling birth-rate and people living longer, it is inevitable that our community is ageing. It is no surprise that geriatric medicine, the medical care of the elderly, has quickly evolved into a major specialty. We find that the main factor that has contributed to the not proper health care has been the increase in the migration and busy in work. Population ageing is an unavoidable and irreversible change which comes through demographic transition in all societies. India is in the third stage of its demographic transition. The age structure of the country reveals that it has been ageing rapidly. The elderly need certain amenities such as health care, nutrition, and a sense of belonging, but the type and amount of treatment they receive mainly depend on the culture of the family.
