A common phenomenon in South-East Asia is ageing of the population.This article describes the various stages of development of psychogeriatrics in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand,Indonesia and the Philippines. It is only in the last few years that more systematic development of psychogeriatric services has begun under the pressure of an ageing population. The model of servicedelivery in Hong Kong can serve as an example of development of psychogeriatric services in South-East Asia.
