I'm after advice about how to get good medical advocacy in Hong Kong.

My 61 year old step father had a stroke in Hong Kong 2 days ago, on a stop over on his way back home from Europe. He is in a very crowded hospital in a corridor and not getting the chance to rest.

In terms of the quality of the hospital, you could try contacting the travel insurance company to see if he can be transferred to a different facility, although I don’t know the quality of other hospitals in Hong Kong. It mightn’t be any better. The other option is to liaise with the nurse unit manager or the hospital complaints officer to see if he can be moved to a quieter ward. In emergency at times when hospitals are full (or on what they call bypass) there can be overflow until patients are moved onto the ward if they aren’t safe to be discharged home. 

Please call us if you have further questions on 1800 787 653. I hope your step father is starting to improve and he is able to return home soon.

Best wishes,

Simone
