Łódź pandemic initiative for elderly praised as ‘a model for the future’ by World Health Organisation

The city came in for praise after launching its City Volunteer Service for Senior Citizens at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic when the closure of 19 day-care centres for the elderly left many with limited mobility, without adequate support networks and unable to access many of the services they needed or fulfil their basic needs such as hot meals and medicines.
