Veteran Hong Kong gynaecologist struck off for 6 months after telling pregnant woman she could have abortion if fetus’ sex was undesired


A veteran Hong Kong gynaecologist has been struck off the medical register for six months and reported to police after he told a pregnant woman she could have an abortion if she was not happy with the sex of her baby.

Dr Chau Wing, a gynaecologist with about five decades of experience, was found guilty of professional misconduct by the Medical Council on Thursday after it determined he had offered improper treatments to the patient in 2015 and 2016 and claimed he could enable the conception of a male child.
