For instance, there are improvements in the guidelines for the care of geriatric people who are undergone hip fracture.

As the care is provided by the collaboration of geriatricians, orthopedic surgeons, and anesthetists, there are several changes in the procedure to improve general facilities and services for surgical treatments. Hence, there is an increase in the number of surgical procedures for older people in the region country. According to the British Journal of Surgery, published in May 2019, the average number of older people undergoing surgeries has increased to 54.2 in 2015 from 47.5 years in 1999. It is estimated that by 2030, over 1.48 million people aged 75 years and above will undergo surgical procedures every year.
