The recent nursing home cases have raised concerns about care standards, but they also point to a much bigger question. As Singapore becomes one of the world's fastest-ageing societies, what should our eldercare system actually look like?

On Viewpoint, Public health specialist and author of Myth Or Magic – The Singapore Healthcare System, Dr Jeremy Lim joins Lynlee Foo to discuss ageing in the community, supporting families, improving quality of life and why the future of eldercare is about much more than nursing homes.
