In August, a female security guard in the Yau Ma Tei Maternal and Child Health Center died after being overwhelmed by an electric switch. The Department of Health confirmed that the roller shutter malfunctioned again in the hospital last month, and a false ceiling also fell this month. No one was injured in the two incidents. Notify the relevant departments for repairs.

The Highways Department said that after receiving the notice from the Department of Health in early September, it has arranged for the contractor to follow up. After the faulty roller shutter was removed, no abnormalities were found in the other roller shutters in the health center. As for the loose false ceiling panels, they have been repaired and reinstalled on the same day. In order to relieve doubts, the Highways Department will arrange a comprehensive safety review for the entire facility.

In response to the Central Kowloon Route Project of the Highways Department, the Yau Ma Tei Maternal and Child Health Center needs to be relocated and will be relocated to provide services from April 2020. The Department of Health announced earlier this month that due to the need for building maintenance in the Yau Ma Tei Maternal and Child Health Centre, services have been suspended until further notice.
