Patient who needed soft food dies after choking on regular meal at public hospital
A Hong Kong patient died after suffering a heart attack when he was fed a regular meal instead of the required soft food and choked at Prince of Wales Hospital.
The public hospital in Sha Tin issued a public apology on Friday and said it had appointed an eight-person panel to look into the blunder.
A report, along with recommendations for improvement measures, is expected in eight weeks.
