照顧腦退化症患者的服務需求
|
Dementia care has become an increasing concern to society. Currently, the number of dementia sufferers in Hong Kong is over 70,000 people. With an ageing population, the number of dementia cases is expected to increase to about 280,000 by 2036. It is expected that dementia would create increasing caring burdens to society. To address these issues, CADENZA: A Jockey Club Initiative for Seniors organized a symposium on "Caring for People with Dementia: Needs and Services" on 15 September at The University of Hong Kong. It was the fifth symposium jointly organized with the Faculty of Social Sciences at The University of Hong Kong and the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The event brought together participants from different backgrounds, including professional practitioners from government, non-governmental organisations, health care sector, academia and professional bodies, and 11 distinguished overseas and local speakers to share their insights on dementia care.
