Symposium on Long Term Care System for Older Person

In Hong Kong, the trend of ageing is accelerating when the baby boomers enter into their old age. With the increasing longevity, people are more likely to suffer from different degrees of frailty and thus require different degree of Long-term care service.

In view of this, we have started the discussion on the development of a Long Term Care System for the older persons in Hong Kong. In July 2002, we have visited Japan to study their Long Term Care System and their Long Term Care Insurance. In this symposium, we will share our initial thinking on Long Term Care system and the insights gained from Japan. Besides, academics and practitioners from elderly services would share their views as well.

Thus, our Council had organized a "Symposium on Long Term Care System for Older Person" on October 4, 2002. The presentation paper can be download as below:
