Beyond the Silver Tsunami: Preparing for The Future of Healthcare

Singapore, an Aging Population?

Singapore’s population is rapidly aging. According to a news article published from The Straits Times, by 2030, around one in four citizens, or 23.8 per cent, will be aged 65 and above. It was 17.6 per cent in 2021. With an aging population comes a growing demand for specialized care, especially for elderly or critical care.

The impact on Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is also significant. Of 874 patients, 41.3 per cent were young, and the elderly consisting of the old and very elderly adds up to a shocking 58.7 per cent of the ICU. It creates a pressing need for well-trained professionals who can provide high-quality care for this complex and vulnerable population.

The Future of Health Care

The future of healthcare in Singapore is one that looks like a hospital without walls. An example would be, patients who need chronic care, such as for diabetes or ongoing heart issues, can have a healthcare professional regularly checking in on their blood pressure virtually.
