Editorial | End-of-life support for disabled to ease stress in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Jockey Club project much needed and most welcome in city where some 90 per cent of people die in hospital

The provision of comprehensive and compassionate end-of-life care for seriously ill patients is vital if they are to spend their final days in relative comfort. But the provision of palliative care is underdeveloped around the world, including in Hong Kong. The service gap for those who are physically or intellectually disabled is especially wide. A new Hong Kong Jockey Club project, to provide end-of-life support for older people with disabilities, is much needed and most welcome.
