2 days agoBail for 2 Hong Kong doctors accused of leaking data to implicate surgeon - DataBreaches.Net
Two public hospital doctors have been granted bail after being arrested in Hong Kong on suspicion of leaking a cancer patient's medical data to highlight alleged professional shortcomings by her operating surgeon. Observers, meanwhile, said that although the incident did not align with the principles of "whistle-blowing", it underscored the need for a stronger "speak-up" culture within the Hospital Authority. The 35-year-old associate consultant and the 57-year-old consultant from Tseung Kwan O Hospital were released on bail on Tuesday and are required to report to police in late September.

The employees had previously been placed on paid leave after the letter's release by the agency. This employment limbo was extended three times while they were under investigation for preparing the declaration during work hours, since extended into September for many of the remaining signatories.
