Thanks to the generous donations from benefactors, the Relief & Charity Service Beds Programme has been in operation since April 2012. This programme enables eligible patients to receive high-quality palliative care in the Centre free of charge. The programme covers accommodation (rooms for 4 to 7 persons), meals, and all medical and nursing care costs.
Close Medical Supervision
A team led by palliative care and geriatric specialist physicians and nurses provides 24-hour professional and holistic care. Resident doctors conduct daily ward rounds (except on holidays) to ensure patients receive prompt and effective symptom management and high-quality medical supervision.
Comprehensive Medical Facilities
The Centre could provide a range of specialized medical services to meet treatment needs of patients, including IV drips and injections (e.g., antibiotics), drainage of ascites, high-flow oxygen therapy, sputum suction, rehabilitation therapy, and care for colostomies and tracheostomies.
Integrated Psycho-Social-Spiritual Care
Our resident chaplains and social workers provide personalized support to address the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of our patients and their families through pastoral care, casework, communal activities, grief counseling, bereavement support, and volunteer services.
The main service targets are patients with End-of-Life (EoL) care needs who are currently receiving treatment in the clinical oncology, palliative care, internal medicine, or geriatrics departments of HA hospitals. Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:
*The “Relief & Charity Service Beds Programme” is for EoL care patients. After admission to our hospice, our doctors will regularly assess the patients’ conditions. If the situation stabilizes, we will make appropriate transfer arrangements with collaborating hospitals.
