Hong Kong order of precedence
The Hong Kong order of precedence is a nominal and symbolic hierarchy of important positions within the Government of Hong Kong. Administered by the government's Protocol Division, the hierarchy does not determine the order of succession for the office of Chief Executive, which is instead specified by the Basic Law of Hong Kong.

As a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong theoretically maintains autonomy on all affairs other than defence and foreign relations. Reflecting that status, the order of precedence does not include party and state leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Government officials from mainland China are generally treated as special guests when attending Hong Kong government functions.

In a medical context, respect for a patient's personal autonomy is considered one of many fundamental ethical principles in medicine.
