Manulife to Host June 22 Hong Kong Longevity Forum as Healthspan Gap Widens

Summary
June 22 is the date for Manulife’s Hong Kong Longevity Insight Forum, which will focus on healthspan, retirement readiness and quality of life as the city ages.
Hong Kong residents are living longer, but healthy years are not keeping pace, with chronic illness, mental health strain and rising living costs deepening concerns about independence in later life.
Public hospitals already face heavier demand from older residents, and the Health Bureau has warned healthcare spending will keep rising as ageing increases reliance on public medical services.
Manulife says insurers are shifting beyond payouts toward preventive care, wellness programs, AI-driven screening and financial planning as longer retirements reshape customer needs.
Hong Kong’s mix of world-leading longevity, high property prices and long working hours offers an early test of pressures other Asian cities may soon face.
