Deputy Secretary for Health and Welfare, Hong Kong.

Extract

Hong Kong is a territory of only 400 square miles in size, but with a large population of six million people. We have excellent medical facilities in both the public and private sector and the general health indices of the population are good, with low infant mortality rates (5 per 1000) and long life expectancies (75 years for men and 80 for women).
