The aim of this project is to develop a database for indigenes of rivers state that are above 60 years of age which will in turn help the government to conduct a free, adequate and sumptuous medical care for them.

·        To replace the current inefficient manual system which include forecasting and approximation.

·        To ensure credibility in free medical service for the old age through adequate database management system in the state.

·        To help the rivers state government provide a free medical services for the people within the age of 60 and above through an error free database.

1.4 Scope of the Study
