Hong Kong to reform Medical Council to improve handling of complaints
Hong Kong authorities plan to reform the Medical Council by increasing lay members to over a third and making complaint handling time frames public. The changes follow a 15-year delay in addressing a complaint against Dr Sit Sou-chi, whose alleged medical error left a boy permanently disabled in 2009.
