چکیده
HKJGOM 2009; 9 (1) 9 Introduction Since 2003 when the ‘visa-free’ policy for tourists from Mainland China was implemented to boost the Hong Kong economy, there has been an escalating trend in the number of persons from different provinces of China entering Hong Kong. Among them, there was a substantial number of pregnant women (contributing to one quarter of the total deliveries in Hong Kong in 2003)1. After crossing the border and delivering their babies in Hong Kong, they expected to obtain the permanent residency for their children. This influx also leads to a major surge of obstetric workload in Hong Kong public hospitals.
