    Experience learning from the first MSC unit in HK

    With the median age of women having their first child in Hong Kong (HK) rising from 28.1 years in 1991 to 32.3 years in 2020, the rates of comorbidities and obstetric complications are expected to increase. Thus, notably, there is an increasing need for maternal critical care, resulting in the first HK maternal special care (MSC) unit being piloted in the Prince of Wales Hospital in May 2018 which aims to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. In an interview with Omnihealth Practice, Dr. Hui, Shuk-Yi Annie talked about her experience in founding the first MSC unit in HK and shared a clinical case of preeclampsia with postpartum hemorrhage which benefited from the MSC unit and resolved without developing complications
