    E-Newsletter INAUGURATION ISSUE 2016 With the support of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, a three-year initiative, Jockey Club End-of-Life Community Care (JCECC) Project, was launched in 2015. The project aims at improving the quality of end-of-life care, enhancing the capacity of service providers and raising public awareness. FEATURE On February 25, 2016, The JCECC Project, together with Hospital Authority and Hong Kong Society of Palliative Medicine, organised a Symposium on Collaboration and Communications in Health and Social Care for End-of-Life Care. The Symposium featured three knowledgeable speakers including Professor Ilora Finlay from University of Cardiff, Mr. Richard Yuen from Food and Health Bureau and Professor Cecilia Chan from the JCECC Project. In Hong Kong, the proportion of deaths of people aged 65 or over has increased from 67.2% (in 1991) to 78.4% (in 2011), amounting to a 73% increase in actual deaths. In the same period, the overall number of deaths also increased; therefore, the demand for end-of-life care has grown tremendously. Despite that, the development of end-of-life care in Hong Kong has been below average. In the 2015 Quality of Death Index, Hong Kong was ranked only 22nd out of 80 regions, behind other developed Asian regions like Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and South Korea. The United Kingdom ranked 1st in the index and there are a lot of experience that can be learnt from the UK on end-of-life care in terms of systems, infrastructures and community education. Professor Finlay, The Baroness Finlay of Llandaff and Professor of Palliative Medicine in Cardiff University, with Mr.

  • Primary Care Development Strategy
    LC Paper No. CB(2)1995/09-10(01) For information on 12 July 2010 Legislative Council Panel on Health Services Healthcare Service Reform – Primary Care Development Strategy PURPOSE This paper briefs Members on the latest progress of the primary care development strategy formulated based on the advice and recommendations of the Working Group on Primary Care (WGPC). BACKGROUND 2. Enhancing primary care is one of the proposals put forward in the Healthcare Reform Consultation Document “Your Health, Your Life” and received broad public support during the first stage public consultation conducted in March to June 2008. In recognition of the broad support, the Chief Executive announced in the 2008-09 Policy Address that the Government would allocate resources to implement this proposal, and the Secretary for Food and Health would set up the WGPC to take forward the initiative. 3. To this end, WGPC was reconvened under the Health and Medical Development Advisory Committee (HMDAC) in October 2008, involving medical professionals from both the public and private sectors, academia, patient groups and other stakeholders, to discuss and provide strategic recommendations on enhancing and developing primary care in Hong Kong. Three Task Forces were set up under WGPC to study specific proposals set out in the healthcare reform consultation document, taking into account the views collected during the first stage public consultation on healthcare reform. PRIMARY CARE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY WGPC Initial Recommendations 4. After extensive deliberations at

  • Special Visiting Arrangement Resumes in Infirmary Hospitals
    Special Visiting Arrangement Resumes in Infirmary Hospitals The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority: The Hospital Authority (HA) today (October 31) announced that special visiting arrangement in infirmary hospitals will be implemented beginning next Wednesday (November 4). The special visiting arrangement will begin next week and initially cover eight hospitals (as appended table). Ward staff will begin contacting patients' family members today for scheduling the visits. Family members are not required to call the wards for booking themselves. Each patient will be allocated a one-hour session by one registered visitor each week, with the arrangement of the hospitals. The HA spokesperson said, "the HA has implemented special visiting arrangement in June but suspended upon the third wave of the epidemic." "With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the world, the Emergency Response Level will likely be maintained for a while. Amid easing situation locally, both the HA Central Command Committee and HA Central Committee on Infectious Disease and Emergency Responses have deliberated and assessed the infection control risk associated with visiting arrangement. It was agreed that special visiting arrangement could be first resumed in infirmary hospitals." "Long-stay patients rely more heavily on the support from family members both psychologically and in their daily lives. The hospitals concerned have not received any COVID-19 patients and crowd control measures for visitors are physically viable." The arrangement will be adjusted

    LC Paper No. CB(2)2162/14-15(01) Annex Response to Information Requested at Health Service Panel Meeting on 15 July 2013 Introduction The public healthcare system is the cornerstone of Hong Kong’s healthcare system. The Government will uphold its commitment to public healthcare system and will continue to deploy resources to expand our public healthcare infrastructure through building new hospitals and improving existing hospital facilities to cope with the ever-increasing demand for medical services. 2. The Hospital Authority (HA) is a major healthcare service provider in Hong Kong, currently managing 42 public hospitals/institutions with a total of some 27 000 hospital beds, 47 specialist outpatient clinics (SOPC) and 73 general outpatient clinics (GOPC). These facilities are organised into seven clusters according to geographical locations. 3. There is a high demand for HA services. Its throughputs in 2013-14 amounted to about 1.57 million inpatient and day inpatient1 discharge episodes, 2.24 million Accident & Emergency attendances, 7.04 million specialist outpatient (clinical) attendances, 2.33 million allied health (outpatient) attendances, 6.10 million primary care attendances, and 1.99 million community outreach visits. Development of Hospital Clustering 4. When HA took over the management of the public hospital system in 1991, the hospitals were disorganized and poorly coordinated. For example, some of the major acute hospitals were then supported by up to five to six “district” hospitals widely dispersed in the territory providing convalescent care. Moreover, 1 In HA, day inpatients refer to those who are admitted into hospitals for non-emergency treatment and who are discharged within the same day.

    Settling-in Hong Kong 14 What’s Inside? The Basics Let’s Talk About Culture Settling in Tips Let’s Have Fun Need Help? The Basics About Hong Kong Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港), officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is a special administrative region. With over 7.4 million people of various nationalities in a 1,104 km2 territory, Hong Kong is the world's fourth-most-densely-populated region. Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after Qing China ceded Hong Kong Island at the end of the First Opium War in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. The territory was returned to China when the lease expired in 1997. As a special administrative region, Hong Kong's system of government is separated from that of mainland China. Formerly a sparsely populated area of farming and fishing villages, Hong Kong has become one of the world's most significant financial centers and commercial ports. It is the world's seventh-largest trading entity, and its legal tender (the Hong Kong dollar) is the world's 13th-most-traded currency. Although the city has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world, it has severe income inequality. The territory has the largest number of skyscrapers in the world, most surrounding Victo- ria Harbour. Hong Kong ranks seventh on the UN Human Development Index and has the seventh-longest life expectancy in the world.

The Hospital Authority (HA) provides a comprehensive range of acute, convalescent, rehabilitation and community healthcare services through its hospitals, outpatient clinics and community-based facilities. 3. Hong Kong is facing the challenge of an ageing population which puts tremendous pressure on the healthcare services. The Government recognizes the importance of proper long-term planning in order to facilitate timely commencement, progression and completion of major hospital development projects for meeting future service needs. Subsequent to our last report to the Panel on the update of public hospital developments on 18 January 2016 vide LC Paper No. CB(2)652/15-16(04), the Government and HA have commenced implementation of the first ten-year HDP, for which $200 billion has been earmarked for a total of 16 projects to provide over 5 000 additional public hospital beds and more than 90 additional operating theatres. A summary of projects under the first ten-year HDP with their bed deliverables is at Annex A. 4. To date, the Government has upgraded three projects under the first ten-year HDP in full and partially upgraded six projects to Category A at a total funding commitment of around $38 billion in money-of-the-day prices, which is about 19% of the cost ceiling of $200 billion.
