Population of Camagüey ages but with quality of life

The county of Camagüey is the sixth more aged territory of Cuba, where the hope of life when being born is near to the 80 years for the women and of 76 for the men.

To tenor with that panorama the Government in the county follows a program dedicated to improvements and creation of facilities for people of the third age closely, many of them activate laborly, and other contributers of ideas and experiences in different professionals disciplines.

The University of the biggest Adult stands out in that zeal, a highly valuable resource in the region of Camagüey, maxime when it is considered that one native of each four will surpass the 60 years in the 2025.

The old men represent more than 16 percent of the population from Camagüey and receive a community surveillance in all their forms, favored with 21 Houses of Grandparents, and 12 homes of old men, with home service by day. (Pedro Paneque Ruiz)
