El documento "Atención sanitaria al anciano", elaborado por la Sociedad Española de Medicina Geriátrica (SEMEG), apunta que el sistema sanitario discrimina al anciano respecto a la atención que recibe. Esta discriminación se concreta en determinados escenarios: limitación en el acceso a pruebas diagnósticas; cirugía y tratamientos para patologías muy comunes; utilización de soluciones sociales para problemas médicos, y ausencia de una atención especializada e integral para el anciano. 5, record 3, Spanish, - sistema%20de%20salud

The proposed primary goal of CHRIMCY are to initiate, support and disseminate excellence in peer-reviewed research encompassing the critical stages of life, including preconception, pregnancy, fetal and newborn development, and growth and development throughout childhood and adolescence. These primary goals define the nature of research that would be supported by the proposed institute, and clearly distinguish this institute from others that may form within the CIHR. Research would be conducted in the fields of basic biomedical science, clinical and applied health, health services and health care systems, and population health, with a particular focus on the determinants of health. The proposed main objectives of CHRIMCY is to reinforce individual investigator initiatives by aiding in the formation of networks of research teams that would cross disciplines, institutions, regions and the country. This includes providing mechanisms for researchers to work across the institutes of the CIHR. CHRIMCY would have the unique mandate and framework to identify reserach themes and to harness reserach expertise cross the country, and to focus on priority issues affecting the health of mothers, children and youth. 3, record 6, English, - Canadian%20Health%20Research%20Institute%20for%20Mother%2C%20Child%20and%20Youth
