The number of people with dementia is occasionally but not routinely monitored in Hong Kong. Although there is no official annual statistics about dementia from the Government, different NGOs and research institutions have been investigating and monitoring the prevalence, needs of service, and care burden among people with dementia and their family carers (The Government of the Hong Kong SAR, 2015, June 17).
