Healthy ageing: Priorities for the G20 in India

Date: Tuesday 25 April 2023

Time: 1.00pm – 2.30pm (BST)

Location: Virtual

Following our House of Lords exclusive dinner debate last year on the future of healthy ageing in India ahead of the G20, it was clear that healthy ageing and prevention needs to be at the centre of Ministerial discussions. 
 
With G20 members representing 85% of the global GDP and over half ​of the G20 countries having the world’s oldest populations, huge economic gains could be made by investing in preventative health and ensuring its citizens live well for longer.  
 
Indeed, if G20 countries were to increase preventative health spend by just 0.1 percentage it would unlock an additional 9% of spending every year by people aged 60 or over and support people to work, care and volunteer for longer. 
 
During this event, we share the findings from our policy publication on what we think should be the priorities for the G20 in India and the key messages we want to disseminate to ministers and world leaders. We will hear from experts on the opportunities and challenges to engage India and the G20 with prevention and healthy ageing and identify further opportunities to maximise our engagement while at the G20 in September.
