Past-to-Present: The Development of Geriatric Medicine (GRM) and Eldercare Services in Singapore

Objective

​According to the National Archives of Singapore, there is no available government records or oral history interview on the development of medicine and health servicesin Singapore. Therefore, as the national institute for geriatric education and research, GERI is tasked to document the development of GRM and eldercare services in Singapore.

This special project aims to create an archive of oral history interviews on the development and progress in geriatric medicine and eldercare services. These collection of official documents and interviews provide an opportunity to learn how the past has shaped the present, as well as how these lessons can be used in research and education to inform future development.
