Abstract

The article reflects the problems of formation of geriatric service at the regional level, both in the formation of the second level and in the organization of the first level - geriatric offices. A serious concern at the regional level is the personnel problem and the level of material support of employees providing medical and social assistance to elderly and senile patients. The insufficient awareness of the population about the achievements of gerontology and geriatrics, insufficient interaction of medical organizations and social protection bodies in solving complex medical and social problems of older people are pointed out.
