Joint IAAHS/AAA Webinar: End-of-Life Care in an Aging World

Co-hosted by the American Academy of Actuaries and the International Actuarial Association Health Section (IAAHS).

End-of-life care is a challenging issue, but it is critical that the impact of changing demographics on health care systems is understood in the context of complex financial, social, public health, cultural, and ethical constraints. Using examples from Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Israel, India, and the Netherlands, this webinar will explore the increased health care costs of global aging, quality of life during the end-of-life period, palliative versus curative care, and stakeholder strategies for addressing the unique health care challenges at the end of life.

 

 

This webinar is free for Academy and IAAHS members. Registration will close on Nov. 6.
