At 50 Plus Assist Pvt. Ltd., in collaboration with Elderly Care India, we continue our commitment to compassionate, globally informed conversations that strengthen senior care ecosystems and support families across generations and geographies. 🤝✨
I’m pleased to share a glimpse from our Global Expert Session on “The Need for Geriatric Medicine in Senior Care,” featuring Dr. Akshat Khandekar, Family & Geriatric Medicine Specialist.
Dr. Akshat Khandekar is a respected physician and a strong advocate for holistic, dignified ageing. With a special focus on family and geriatric medicine, his work spans eldercare, lifestyle medicine, fitness, obesity management, adult vaccination, assisted living, and sexual health in ageing—emphasizing independence and quality of life for older adults.
He is particularly vocal about the over-prescription and misuse of medications among seniors, underscoring the need for personalized, judicious geriatric care supported by preventive healthcare, fitness, and lifestyle interventions. His approach bridges clinical practice with advocacy, encouraging a rethinking of how senior care is delivered in India and beyond. 🌍💙
It was a privilege to co-host this insightful dialogue with Pankaj Mehrotra, Founder of Elderly Care India, and explore why geriatric medicine must be central to effective, ethical, and future-ready senior care.
