Medical Missteps: A Repeating Pattern of Negligence Hong Kong's healthcare system has long been regarded as one of Asia's best, but a recent investigation into a suspected medical blunder raises disturbing questions about the quality of care being provided.
At the center of this probe is an improperly sealed catheter used in a heart operation on a 75 year old patient who later died at Tuen Mun Hospital.
The case bears similarities to past incidents where negligence or lapses in protocol have led to devastating consequences for patients and their families.
