- Nurses baffled by closed medicine tube to premature baby, inquest hears
An infusion tube delivering medicine to a premature baby at Hong Kong's Prince of Wales Hospital was closed for unknown reasons before her death in 2023, according to an inquest. Two nurses testified they could not explain the closure of a three-way valve controlling the medicine flow, and the hospital acknowledged the incident as a 'serious untoward event.'
