Myanmar prepares for aging society with pensions, tech-based care, and social support expansion.

The government is boosting support through financial aid to nursing homes, social pension programs, and tech-driven elderly care. Donations and medical supplies were also provided to attendees, reflecting a commitment to improved well-being and dignity for the aging population.
