Health care development of geriatrics in the Asian countries

Farangiz Yueh*

 Some countries are aging rapidly (People's Republic of China, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.). Their demographic change has come before per capita incomes have risen, and the development of social protection systems has provided adequate support for older people and their families, increasing fraud and increasing vulnerability. Other countries, such as the Philippines, are aging less rapidly, but need to develop long-term care systems to support the elderly. Many countries in Asia will benefit from improved labour migration policies in the region. This allows us to provide new employment opportunities for skilled caregivers in this rapidly growing field.
