| Abstract | On the 1st of October 2013 Age International launched the world’s first global age index –
the first global study to rank 91 countries according to the wellbeing of their senior
citizens. Sweden ranked number 1, Afghanistan 91. Vietnam has been positioned at
number 53. This study, funded by the UN, is indicative of the importance that needs to be
placed on addressing issues that do and will affect the senior citizen. As the world
population ages, it is crucial that the world responds to the issues that are becoming ever
prevalent. Vietnam is no exception; issues at the centre of an aging population need to be
addressed - and addressing the health service available to the elderly is the perfect place to
start. The demand for new and innovative care services is needed.
It is not only senior citizens that demand a home based care service - those who have been
injured or are suffering or recovering from illness are also in need of a home based service.
Many people would prefer to recover at home than recover uncomfortably in a hospital
bed.
Home based care is a service that is seen in many countries throughout the world. To date
however, there has not been a professional home based care service set up in Vietnam and
more specifically Hanoi. This business plan will demonstrate that Vietnam is undergoing a
massive demographic transition and will show that a home based care service that targets
both senior citizens and those affected by injury or illness in Hanoi will meet the demands
of many people living in an increasingly modern world. |
