End of Life Care in Hong KongEditie 1

Fong and his contributors examine the latest practices and research in end of life (EOL) care, incorporating case examples and recommending strategies for medical-social collaboration and future directions for quality EOL care in Hong Kong.

The book addresses key topics in EOL care, including healthcare professionals' and the public's understanding of EOL issues, societal attitudes toward death and dying, policy and advance medical directives, legal and ethical considerations, medical-social collaboration, the calling of professional caregivers, religious intervention, and future directions for EOL care in Hong Kong. By bringing together diverse aspects of EOL care, it builds community and professional networks that promote quality care while encouraging open public discourse about death and dying.

This is a valuable resource for scholars and educators in medical and health fields, social sciences, and public administration and a comprehensive repository of current knowledge, debates, and relevant literature on EOL care in Hong Kong for academia, administration, and NGOs. It offers practical insights for practitioners and leaders in government, statutory, and related organisations.
