Aging population is a human success story, reflects the progress made in economic and social development, public health, and medicine, as well as their role in preventing injury, controlling disease, and lowering the risk of premature death (1). Those aged 60 years and above are considered as older in Sub-Saharan Africa (2). The percentage of individuals aged 60 and above is predicted to rise remarkably in the coming decades, as per World Health Organization. Ethiopia, an older and historically rich Sub-Saharan African nation with a population of over 115 million, is experiencing a demographic shift characterized by an increasing elderly population (3). By 2050, Ethiopia's older adult population is predicted to more than double from 5.1% in 2010 to 10.3% (4). Therefore, this demographic change, demands great attention of policy and the health system that can fit this transition, particularly in geriatric medicine, which focuses on the health care of older adults (5). Despite Ethiopia's demographic shift toward a larger percentage of the elderly population, policies and programs are not implemented to address this (3, 4).
