Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa and his body guard sent a sick Australian woman to Hong Kong Adventist Hospital in a sudden rainstorm when they took afternoon exercises in a mountainous road in Wanchai Sunday.
Local press reported Monday that Tung ran along Bowen Road with a body guard Sunday afternoon.
A heavy rain suddenly occurred when Tung took shelter in a pavilion, a foreigner came and told Tung that a woman fell down in a faint about 100 meters away.
Tung and his body guard found that an Australian woman in her 40s fell on the road and had difficulties in breathing, though she had good consciousness.
As the woman was not reluctant to go to a hospital, Tung persuaded her to see a doctor and telephoned her husband. Tung and his body guard sent the Australian woman to the nearby Adventist Hospital for treatment.
Tung left the hospital after the woman's husband came.
The woman has backed home after a check up. The lack of water in her body made her faint.
The Australian woman and her husband expressed thanks to the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Jeremy Low, spokesman for the hospital, said Monday that the patient had asked not to reveal her name.
He said his hospital is famous for cardiac surgeries and tumor treatment in Hong Kong and about 70 percent of the patients of his hospital are overseas people.
