The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
Tuen Mun Hospital announces an incident of missing despatch of dead body for autopsy today (September 22):
A pregnant woman at 25-week gestation with no signs of life for her foetus received an induction of labour on the August 2. After the induction of labour, the doctor conducted a series of examinations and tests for the woman and the foetus’ specimens, including blood test, X-rays, placenta examinations and chromosome tests to investigate for the cause of stillbirth.
In addition to the examinations and tests of various specimens, the family members had also agreed to perform an autopsy for the foetus, which would be handed over to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department upon completion of autopsy.
The doctor was unable to find the autopsy report in the Clinical Management System when the woman returned for postpartum examination in mid-September. Follow-up investigation indicated that the foetus had not been despatched for an autopsy the other day.
The hospital had met the woman and her family to explain the incident and expressed an apology. The clinical team will continue to closely follow up the postnatal condition of the woman to provide appropriate treatment and assistance.
The hospital is very concerned about the incident and has reported to the Hospital Authority Head Office via the Advance Incident Reporting System. The hospital will look into the incident and make recommendations for improvements. read more

From September 1 to 30, the Home Affairs Department is running a pilot scheme to open five selected temporary night heat shelters (i.e. the above-mentioned five temporary night heat shelters marked with an asterisk) for people in need, regardless of whether the Very Hot Weather Warning has been issued by the Hong Kong Observatory.
For the 14 temporary night heat shelters not covered by the pilot scheme, their opening will still be subject to the issuing of the Very Hot Weather Warning. If the Very Hot Weather Warning remains in force at 4.30pm after being issued, the heat shelters will open from 10.30pm until 8am the next day. If the Very Hot Weather Warning is cancelled before 4.30pm, the heat shelters will not open overnight that day.
The temporary night heat shelters will resume their functions as community centres or community halls in the daytime for hire by the local community.
People may choose to take refuge from the heat during the daytime in the common areas of the designated community centres and community halls. For the addresses of these designated community centres and community halls, please browse the following document: www.had.gov.hk/file_manager/en/documents/public_services/emergency_services/List_CH_CC_Day_E.pdf. read more
