Female police officer dies from massive haemorrhage after giving birth; Medical Council ends complaint citing insufficient evidence after 9 years; family writes to Health Bureau to appeal

A 26-year-old female police officer died from massive haemorrhage after giving birth at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The Medical Council ended the family's complaint after 9 years on the grounds of "insufficient evidence". The Concern Group for Patients with Chronic Illnesses pointed out today (8th) that the case had previously been referred to a Medical Council inquiry panel for inquiry, and was later returned to a preliminary investigation committee after new information emerged. The family questioned that the investigation committee had not referred to the evidence given at the inquest when making its decision, and wrote to the Secretary for Health today to lodge an appeal.
