A rapidly ageing population is the most significant demographic
issue confronting Singapore in our lifetime. This has created new
and increasing demands on Singapore's healthcare system and on the
families of the older adults. The challenge is in providing a
system of care that is humane, effective and sustainable
financially. This requires coordination between state funded
providers, the family and the community.
This book offers a multi-disciplinary perspective by researchers
from various disciplines such as medicine, sociology, anthropology
and law on managing healthcare and end-of-life decisions in
Singapore. Providing information and suggestions for better policy
formulation towards the aged, this book is an invaluable resource
for policy makers, serivce practitioners and scholars working on
Asian gerontology.
