Baby Jane Allas lost her rights for healthcare after she was terminated from her previous employer after a cancer diagnosis.

HONG KONG: A domestic worker sacked after a cancer diagnosis was awarded damages by a Hong Kong court Monday, in a case that highlighted exploitation of foreign women toiling as maids in the wealthy financial hub.
