Geriatric health is a significant and expanding segment of the healthcare system in Bangladesh, as it is in many other countries around the globe, due to a growing elderly population. It is concerned with the requirements of a special healthcare system, flexible management, and the multiple challenges facing older people, aged 65 years and over. 

Experts have cited a shortage in Bangladesh’s available geriatric healthcare facilities, and insist that geriatric healthcare must be integrated into the mainstream healthcare system soon to ensure the good health of the elderly population.
