The spokesman for Tuen Mun Hospital (TMH) made the following appeal today (September 7) regarding a patient who left the hospital without notifying hospital staff:
At around 1.45am today, a 34-year-old male patient suddenly left despite interference of our security guard when he was waiting for admission at the Observation Room in the Accident and Emergency Department.
Security guards conducted searching in hospital and the vicinity area immediately but were unable to locate the patient.

The hospital will co-operate with the Police for the search.
