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.
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:
- Diagnosed with end-stage cancer or organ failure, with a life expectancy of 6 months or less.*
- Agreement among the patient, family, and medical team not to pursue cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
- Recipients of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) or beneficiaries of waived medical charges under the Hospital Authority (excluding medical waivers issued under the Old Age Living Allowance (OALA)).
*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.
For inquiries and applications regarding the programme, please contact our social worker.
