Advancing into the Golden Years: Cost of Healthcare for Asia Pacific's Elderly

Aged care costs are set to spiral across the Asia Pacific region in the coming years, a report from the Marsh and McLennan Companies' Asia Pacific Research Center reveals.

Asia Pacific is the fastest ageing region in the world with the elderly population expected to grow by over 200 million between 2015 and 2030.
