Local authorities noted that 44 geriatric teams treat those people at more than 1,300 elderly clubs, where senior citizens do physical exercises.
They also benefit from 21 homes, where senior citizens who have no family can stay temporarily or permanently.
In addition, that group of the Cuban population also benefits from 38 physical rehabilitation wards built in the province over the past four years.
Doctors are promoting preventive campaigns against high blood pressure and unhealthy habits that increase the incidence of diseases as people get older.
