SFH expresses concerns about mis-identification of two babies at QEH

The Secretary for Food and Health, Dr York Chow, said today (August 17) that he was very concerned about the incident of mis-identification of two babies at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. He considered that such an incident should not occur.

"I have asked the Hospital Authority to investigate into the case immediately and submit a report to the bureau. The Hospital Authority will form an investigation panel to study the case. If there are any negligence or mistakes involved, the authority should explain to the public as soon as possible and take improvement measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents," Dr Chow said.
