The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:

     The spokesman for Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) made the following appeal today (October 13) regarding a patient who left the hospital without prior notification:

     A 33-year-old male patient left PMH at around 3.40pm while he was waiting for reassessment at the Observation Room in the Accident and Emergency Department.

     Security guards were mobilised to search the hospital compound and the vicinity area but in vain. PMH is very concerned about the incident and has reported it to the Police.

     The patient is about 1.75-metre tall and of thin body build. He was wearing a grey short-sleeved top, green shorts and slippers.

     The hospital appeals to members of the public to contact the hospital at 2990 2626 or call 999 if they know the whereabouts of the patient.
