The Hong Kong Jockey Club has announced that it has launched a project to enable the elderly and terminally ill to spend their last days at home or in a care center, rather than a hospital environment.
Social and medical institutions involved in the project will provide care services at 24 government-funded elderly centers in Kowloon as well as patients' homes.
The project is expected to provide services for 1,400 patients in the next three years.
Cecilia Chan, the project's manager, is a social administration professor at the University of Hong Kong. Chan says the aim of the project is to provide dignity to patients in their last days.

Some 2,500 small enterprises in four southern districts of Beijing will be closed by the end of this year to improve air quality.
The businesses are in the districts of Fengtai, Fangshan, Tongzhou and Daxing, which have seen more severe air pollution than the northern part of the capital.
The Beijing municipal government says large-sized ventures that were major polluters and high energy consumers have been moved out of the city.
The government says that by 2017, the four districts will remove all small enterprises and businesses including restaurants, hostels and automobile repairers.
