Abstract: With the aging of the population, the normalization of cancer incidence and the future trend in medicalization of death, the place of death will gradually transfer from family to hospital, which further highlights the importance of hospice care. However, due to NIMBY protest and insufficient trust, hospice care facilities face difficulties in construction. What's more, there is lack of policy support for hospice care service, which further limits its development in China. From the perspective of medical social work, current hospice care in China faces many problems:firstly, the demand for hospice care can't be met simply by relying on medical departments and civil affairs administration departments. Policies from single departments can't be relied for gratifying the need for hospice care. In view of its importance, we should discuss about hospice care from the perspective of social governance. It is necessary to vigorously set up policies about hospice care, confront the limit of traditional ideas and promote new method of birth and death. Government should lead the development of hospice care and combine macro-mechanism with microscopic practice. Meanwhile, the cooperation among multiple disciplines should be adopted for the development of hospice care.
