Institute Profile
The Albertina and Walter Sisulu Institute of Ageing
in Africa (IAA) is a Cross-Disciplinary Group. The IAA
represents a coalescence of institute – wide disciplines
with a focus on ageing: specifically Geriatric Medicine;
Geriatric Neurology; Geriatric Neuropsychology and Old
Age Psychiatry. The International Longevity Centre–South
Africa is incorporated in the Institute. The vision of the
IAA is to be an academic, clinical, research and policy
centre of excellence and relevance in Africa. Its mission
is to facilitate the delivery of the highest standard of
inter-disciplinary, in-context training for health and allied
professionals and evidence-based clinical and social care
for older people, whilst undertaking appropriate research
and audit upon which policy and planning for older
persons may be based. The mission is achieved through
inter-disciplinary partnerships and teamwork, and human
resources development within current legal, ethical and
financial constraints. The IAA is a leader in the area of
research on ageing in sub-Saharan Africa, and enjoys
international recognition and acclaim.
