title: Nursing issues in Hong Kong.
abstract: Changes in nursing in Hong Kong over the past decade have had more to do with the changes in the world and the region's economy and population than the changes instituted by the Republic of China. Hong Kong's nearly 7 million people's health is, like in other places, threatened by a shortage of skilled and experienced nurses. Hong Kong's three major university-based nursing programs, if they can work together creatively, have the potential to avert a decline in quality of healthcare in Hong Kong and advance nursing at the same time.
