AB  - The entry of Kazakhstan into the group of
“aging” countries with the predicted trend of increasing
share of the population 60 years and older from 11.2% in
2014 up to 25% by mid-century, identifies the need to
improve approaches to providing health care to this
population group. The study formulated tactics of
conducting practical activities for primary (outpatient)
stage assistance and basic ways to the shaping of the
gerontological scientific-organizational environment.
