Introduction

Population aging presents significant challenges for healthcare systems, including changing patterns of disease, increased demand for long-term and community-based care, and the need to coordinate services across different stages of life. Singapore provides an important setting for examining these issues because demographic changes have encouraged continued development of healthcare policies and service-delivery models. The article Singapore’s health reforms in response to an aging society focuses on the relationship between demographic transformation and health-system reform.
