Hong Kong’s medical sector lawmaker, Pierre Chan, says he has proof that police can access the Hospital Authority’s system to check details of injured protesters who were admitted into the hospital system.
After the violent clash on Wednesday over the extradition bill, police admitted they arrested protesters at public hospitals as they were being treated.
Chan said he received multiple tip-offs from staff at several hospitals about suspicions the Hospital Authority was leaking patient information, an accusation the authority had previously denied.
