*************************************************
The spokesperson for Pok Oi Hospital (POH) made the following appeal today (November 30) regarding an in-patient leaving the hospital without notifying ward staff:
A 64-year-old male in-patient of a Medicine and Geriatrics Ward of POH was found missing by ward staff at about 6.30pm this Wednesday (November 28). The patient has congestive heart failure and requires regular medication. Security guards performed a full-scale search within the hospital compound immediately but were unable to locate the patient.
