Havana, May 2, (RHC) -- In Cuba there are more than two million people over 60 years of age, 19 percent of the total population, making it the Latin American country with the oldest population, according to a Cuban expert.

Doctor Alberto Fernandez, head of the National Group for the Care of the Elderly, of the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) told ACN in an exclusive interview that the rapid population aging is largely due to the low birth rate, the increase of life expectancy and social development.
