Geriatric club attached to a primary health centre in Kerala

Quick takeaway

A PHC-linked geriatric club combined discussion, social activity, and structured engagement and reported better depression and MMSE scores after six months. It is one of the report's clearest low-cost primary-care-adjacent models.

Why this matters

Included because it fits directly into NPHCE-style community and primary-care delivery.

Key caution

Before-and-after case-study designs cannot rule out confounding.
