Bangladesh Association for the Aged and Institute of Geriatric Medicine (BAAIGM), popularly known as Probhin Hitoishi Sangha, is a voluntary, non-profit NGO established in 1960. It is the oldest and largest NGO working in Bangladesh to help and improve life for older people throughout the country, focusing specifically on maintaining physical and mental health. BAAIGM studies the health and socio-economic circumstances of older people, and communicates this to communities and policy makers. It organises courses and training on ageing, and builds older people’s skills to help them generate income and find employment.

BAAIGM became a HelpAge global network member in 2017.

At present, BAAIGM has 54 branchs all over Bangladesh. These branches help extend  health care, income generation  and welfare services for their local older persons. Like the Dhaka HQ branches run their age-care activities in close relation with the local government bodies, NGOs and civil society members. BAAIGM is now ready to render more and better services to the increasing elderly population both in rural and urban areas of Bangladesh.
