The rapid developments of electronic communication in the past decades have resulted in a huge amount of clinical knowledge becoming readily available to patients and the general public. At the same time, with the increasing number of complaints and court cases relating to healthcare disputes, knowledge in healthcare ethics and law is increasingly important in the education, training and practices of lawyers as well. This book aims at helping healthcare practitioners (HCPs) to gain some basic and practical knowledge in the two important areas of clinical ethics and laws, so that they will become better practitioners upholding the standard of care, concentrate on taking care of their patients and stay away from unnecessary legal battles.

Population ageing is a challenge to societies worldwide in terms of healthcare, social support, community infrastructure, and more. With one of the longest life expectancies in the world, Hong Kong will soon see a dramatic increase in the number of older residents together with a decrease in the old age dependency ratio. This book provides a timely examination of the current status and services available for Hong Kong’s ageing population in four key areas: general healthcare needs, such as health promotion and lifestyle modifications; specific healthcare needs, including care of chronic conditions and hip fractures; psychosocial needs for older people with intellectual disabilities and impairments, as well as the needs of their caregivers; and environmental and technological needs in relation to universal design, information and communication technology, and telehealth.Drawing from a wide range of experience in local professional settings combined with international best practices, the

This book, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, offers insights from experts in healthcare and higher education both locally and further afield.

In A New Documentary History of Hong Kong, 1945–1997, Florence Mok, Fung Chi Keung Charles, and other contributors analyse newly released archival records from the National Archives in London, the Government Records Service in Hong Kong, and other sources across the world. This documentary collection provides an updated and improved understanding of basic aspects of the city such as governance, economy, society, and culture. It also aims at investigating topics that are under-exploited in previous sourcebooks, such as race and diasporas, gender and familial relations, medicine and healthcare, and environment and natural disasters. Overall, this book offers an innovative and comprehensive long-term perspective of Hong Kong’s colonial history.

In Socializing Medicine, Pao-chen Tang, Yuqian Yan, and Ling Zhang explore the intersections of medicine, health, and East Asian media. Interweaving archival research, audiovisual analyses, and theoretical insights from the emerging field of health humanities, the book reveals the multifaceted ways in which the mass media—from photography and film to television and live streaming—has been deployed as a tool for controlling medicine and health, privileging those with power and authority from the early twentieth century to the present. Adopting anti-colonial and anti-capitalist perspectives, the contributors in this volume challenge the dominant mediations of health against the backdrop of imperialism, Cold War geopolitical tensions, and neoliberal capitalism. Collectively, they advocate for alternative understandings of medical culture through media productions that envision accessible and equitable healthcare practices.

John Green 從一名少年病患的日常出發，層層展開肺結核如何隨著歷史、殖民、經濟與制度流動，成為今日最致命、卻仍被忽略的傳染病。書中既有醫學知識的清晰說明，也保留人與人之間的溫度，讓數據背後的生命重新被看見。作者多年投入公共倡議的經驗，使本書不流於同情式敘事，而是冷靜指出：疾病的走向，往往取決於社會如何分配資源與關注。本書適合關心公共衛生、全球議題，或單純想理解世界運作方式的讀者閱讀，是一部將個人故事轉化為公共思考的非虛構作品。Instant #1 New York Times bestseller! • #1 Washington Post bestseller! • #1 Indie Bestseller! • USA Today Bestseller!John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world's deadliest disease. Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since t
