Hong Kong is facing a rapidly ageing population, with the number of elderly suffering from terminal illnesses increasing correspondingly. In view of the growing demand for end-of-life care services in the community, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has approved approximately HK$623 million to initiate and fund the “Jockey Club End-of-Life Community Care Project” (JCECC). Launched in 2016, the project aims to improve the quality of end-of-life care, enhance the capacity of service providers, as well as raise public awareness.
