Dia Internacional do Idoso:

contra o estigma e estereótipos,

para dignificar e respeitar

os direitos dos mais velhos

Enquanto Coordenadora do Núcleo de Estudos de Geriatria da Sociedade Portuguesa de Medicina Interna, já é hábito pedirem-me um comentário sobre o Dia Internacional do Idoso, que se celebra no dia 1 de outubro. Esta efeméride foi lançada pelas Nações Unidas já lá vão 34 anos!
