Resumen
Descripción
This policy note assesses Croatia’s
readiness for increased longevity. It focuses on health and
social care services for the elderly, identifying critical
gaps, or open questions, in the key areas of services,
workforce, financing and governance. The aim is to support
reforms that strengthen Croatia’s ability to provide better
care for its elderly. The note argues that, doing so, will
involve making progress on several interlinked areas, from
financing to workforce development, requiring deeper
collaboration across multiple ministries and different
levels of government. This is complex and, for most
middle-income countries, making progress on this front has
involved relying on outside technical expertise. This note
provides some examples of what such support could focus on.
