Abstract
Introduction: Population ageing is one of humanity's greatest challenges in the 21st century, which will undoubtedly put increased health, economic and social demands on all countries. In Singapore, an integrated approach is being undertaken by the various government agencies to manage the ‘silver tsunami’. From the healthcare front, a central body—the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC)—has been set up to facilitate and coordinate care services so that patients can be cared for at the most appropriate settings.
