Pregnant women from outside Hong Kong coming to Hong Kong to give birth have aroused public concern. Hong Kong Hospital Authority Chief Executive Leung Pak-yin said that public hospitals would not rule out stopping admitting pregnant women from outside Hong Kong next year. The quota arrangement for next year is expected to be announced next month; the delivery fee for pregnant women from other places to be rushed to the emergency room. As for the quotas for private hospitals to accept mainland pregnant women, some obstetricians in private hospitals believe that no matter whether there are quotas in the end, they should be announced as soon as possible. The Hospital Authority held a meeting on the 29th to discuss the work plan for the coming year. Liang Boran said that he has noticed the increased demand for obstetric services by local pregnant women and does not rule out the possibility that public hospitals will expand their services next year.
