Prepare for significant demographic challenges Across the world, the average age of the population is growing rapidly. Actually it has been estimated by the WHO that the world population above the age of 60 will nearly double to 2 billion people by 2050. The fact that there are more elderly to care for increases the financial challenges and the pressure on hospitals, nursing homes, and in homecare. However, in the future there will be fewer hands to do the caring. According to the WHO, the world will be short of 12.9 million healthcare workers in 2035 and in developed countries, 40% of nurses will leave health employment within the next decade. This tremendous challenge calls for innovative thinking and new ideas on how to make the healthcare sector more efficient and help save time and human resources. Only by thinking ahead can we provide advanced solutions for patients and care personnel and truly make a valuable difference. Let us together care for tomorrow today. 2 LINAK / HEALTHCARE BEDS
