Grace Port - Caritas Miscarriage Support Centre - Jockey Club Perinatal Bereavement Care Project | 明愛家庭服務

Statistics show that one in five pregnant women experiences pregnancy loss, highlighting its prevalence. However, Hong Kong has lacked specialized support services for parents who have experienced pregnancy loss.
