Give them a call and inquire about Implanon. There is every chance it is now available in HK...because it is now available in the Philippines. I called the Manila number given and the doctor who answered gave me the complete list of doctors certified to provide, insert, and remove Implanon in the Philippines.
If all else fails for you ladies in HK, it is worth the flight to Singapore or Manila to acquire Implanon - better than having to go all the way back to the UK. :-) Could be a fun trip too - swing by Boracay beach on your way back.
If anyone wants contact info on Manila doctors, send me an Asiaxpat email.
P.S. In addition to consulting your ob/gyn, do your homework. A simple search of "Implanon study" on Yahoo or Google will yield tons of reading material to help you make an informed decision.
