Neonatology in the 'Pearl of the East'.

Abstract:

:Clinicians practising in different regions of the world are often impressed at marked differences in disease patterns witnessed. The bases of most obvious differences are usually socio-economic and genetic, but culture and environment can be equally important. Documenting and assessing such differences is more than just a passing interest. Globalization has resulted in significant movement of people from one area to another. During the past decade, many young Chinese families have emigrated to Australia, Europe and North America for social and political reasons. Clinicians in these regions will need to be aware of the "Chinese disease patterns'. This overview highlights some of the more striking differences seen in neonatal medicine between the East (Hong Kong) and the West (Australia/Europe/North America). In addition to the immediate clinical relevance, it is hoped that this review can provide a background from which fruitful research ideas may emerge and to stimulate interest for trainee neonatologists who wish to seek sabbatical experience in Hong Kong.
