520    "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to develop a 
       better and sustainable future for the world and the goals 
       are part of an action plan to address poverty, hunger, 
       health, gender equity and various pressing world issues. 
       One of these goals looks at health and wellness. Ageing 
       populations have become a crucial issue worldwide and this
       short monograph explores ageing and how the consequences 
       of an ageing population may affect our health care system 
       through the case study on Hong Kong's population. The book
       looks at several critical health issues related to ageing.
       The elderly, particularly those with low socioeconomic 
       status, rely more on the acute-centric care rather than 
       primary care. The book suggests that secondary care 
       service may only be effective to limited extent as a 
       healthcare measure and an optimum health care system 
       should be one that focuses on primary care. The authors 
       put forth a compelling argument for disease prevention and
       screening schemes and explain how they are more cost-
       effective and beneficial to the society and the system. 
       This thoughtful book will provide beneficial insights into
       the relationship of ageing and sustainable development 
       goals in the context of health and wellness for policy 
       makers and healthcare professionals"--|cProvided by
