Warning over home births, vaccine refusal after unregistered baby case in Hong Kong
A Hong Kong doctor and a children’s rights group warned that unassisted home births and vaccine refusal pose life-threatening risks to mothers and infants. Their statements followed the arrest of a couple on suspicion of child neglect after they allegedly gave birth at home and failed to register their third child, Danny, citing privacy concerns.
