[Hong Kong –&nbsp;30&nbsp;October 2025]&nbsp;Quality HealthCare Medical Services (QHMS), a long-established healthcare provider in Hong Kong, has partnered with School of Accounting and Finance (AF) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) to launch a strategic internship programme focused on Robotic Process Automation (RPA). The initiative supports internal workflow improvement across QHMS operations while giving undergraduate students real-world experience in digital process transformation. The collaboration reflects QHMS’s commitment to fostering future talent and exploring technologies that enhance operational efficiency in healthcare. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses software robots to automate repetitive, rule-based digital tasks such as data entry, file handling, and system navigation — reducing manual workload and improving consistency across administrative processes. In this internship, six PolyU AF students are working across five QHMS departments to develop and implement nine RPA use cases, with additional projects in reserve. These automations are expected to contribute to a combined monthly saving of approximately 1,600 man-hours*, providing measurable improvements in internal productivity. Key areas of focus of the internship include:<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li style="text-align:justify;">Clinic report digitisation – Automating the generation and handling of internal reports across 20 clinics (approx. 1,320 hours/month).</li><li style="text-align:justify;">Billing query management – Streamlining billing-related administrative queries (approx. 120 hours/month).</li><li style="text-align:justify;">Amendment form handling – Automating the processing of 100+ scanned amendment forms from clinics to the billing system.</li></ul>“This programme allows us to pilot emerging technologies in a structured, low-risk way while supporting student learning,” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS. “It demonstrates how collaboration between academia and healthcare services can create mutual value. By working alongside students, our teams gain fresh perspectives on how technology can enhance efficiency — supporting our broader goal of continuous improvement in healthcare operations.” Designed specifically for business undergraduates, the internship provides the students with an opportunity to apply their analytical and process improvement skills in a live healthcare setting. Unlike traditional tech internships, this programme equips students from non-technical backgrounds to contribute meaningfully to automation projects. Each student will take part in a 24-week internship over two semesters, dedicating approximately 10 to 14 hours per week to the project. Throughout the programme, they will gain hands-on exposure to Quality HealthCare’s business operations and processes, and contribute to the design and development of automation robots with an objective to enhance efficiency and foster innovation. Prior to the internship, students are required to complete a five-day training course on RPA. This course covers the fundamentals of automation design, development, and deployment, and equips them with the technical foundation needed to contribute effectively under supervision during the internship. The internship deliverables include:<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li style="text-align:justify;">Term 1: Initial RPA bots and interim reports</li><li style="text-align:justify;">Term 2: Finalised bots, process documentation, and summary reports</li></ul>“This partnership provides students with a valuable opportunity to apply their knowledge in a practical setting,” said Professor Brian Kei, Professor of Practice (FinTech), School of Accounting and Finance at PolyU. “It also allows them to explore how digital transformation is impacting a vital sector like healthcare.” Beyond skill development, the RPA internship fosters a broader innovation mindset within QHMS. The initiative encourages staff to explore process improvement opportunities and engage with digital tools that enhance internal workflows. Looking ahead, QHMS plans to deepen its collaboration with academic institutions in Hong Kong by expanding internship and applied learning opportunities. These initiatives will support a wider range of innovation and operational improvement projects across different functions. By partnering with more higher education institutions in Hong Kong and nurturing future talent, QHMS aims to contribute to workforce readiness in Hong Kong and foster a culture of continuous improvement within healthcare service operations.– The End –&nbsp;*&nbsp;The above contents are prepared for information purposes only and do not constitute an offer or solicitation for services.

As aviation operations continue to expand across the region, Quality HealthCare Medical Services (QHMS) reaffirms its commitment to supporting aviation safety and pilot wellbeing through ongoing collaboration with the aviation sector. With a long-standing presence in Hong Kong’s healthcare landscape, QHMS recognises the unique health and regulatory needs of aviation professionals and remains dedicated to contributing to a resilient, safety-driven industry. Aviation safety depends not only on engineering and operations, but also on the health, focus, and fitness of flight crews. Pilots carry immense responsibility, and their physical and mental wellbeing is a critical pillar of safe operation. Regular medical assessments, conducted in accordance with aviation authority standards, play a key role in safeguarding that readiness. “Aviation is one of the most safety-sensitive industries in the world. Ensuring the health and safety of those who operate aircraft is not just a medical matter — it’s a public safety priority,” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS. “We believe the partnership between the aviation and medical sectors is essential to maintaining public trust and upholding the highest safety standards.” To meet the specific needs of the aviation community, QHMS provides medical examinations for pilots through a team of registered Approved Medical Assessors (AMAs) and Approved Medical Examiners (AMEs). These services are delivered in compliance with both local and international regulatory requirements, aligning with QHMS’s broader mission to deliver safe and integrated care across specialised sectors. With a network of medical centres across Hong Kong, QHMS offers aviation professionals easy access to required medical services. Various booking options including online channels and call centre support help accommodate pilots’ demanding schedules. &nbsp; Backed by years of experience in supporting airlines and aviation-related organisations, QHMS works closely with employers, training institutions, and regulators. This collaborative approach ensures pilots not only meet compliance standards, but also maintain long-term health and performance throughout their careers. “We are proud to support the aviation community as part of our broader commitment to public health,” said Elaine Chu. “As the aviation industry grows, we are more determined to be a trusted partner in safeguarding the wellbeing of the professionals who make safe travel possible.” &nbsp;– The End –&nbsp;&nbsp;*&nbsp;The above contents are prepared for information purposes only and do not constitute an offer or solicitation for services.

New digital app allows for a more streamlined nurse sourcing and placement service,&nbsp;enhancing employment flexibility and addressing emergency staffing shortages [Hong Kong – 30 October 2024] As Hong Kong's population continues to age, the shortage of healthcare manpower becomes increasingly pressing. In response, Quality HealthCare Medical Services Limited (QHMS) is pleased to launch the ‘Quality HealthCare Nursing Agency’&nbsp;Mobile App&nbsp;(QHNA Mobile App). This innovative app streamlines the sourcing and placement process for nurses, enabling self-employed nurses and carers to easily discover&nbsp;and manage job opportunities&nbsp;anytime, anywhere, through a range of advanced features designed for greater efficiency and flexibility.&nbsp; Hong Kong is experiencing one of the fastest ageing populations globally, with projections indicating that by 2039, 2.52 million people, or 31% of the population, will be aged 65 and above<a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a>. Meanwhile, the city has only 9.1 nurses per 1,000 residents, a figure significantly lower than&nbsp;that of&nbsp;other developed countries<a href="#_ftn2">[2]</a>. This shortage of nurses is expected to persist and potentially worsen in the coming years. “Deeply rooted in Hong Kong, QHMS is&nbsp;committed to supporting the government in alleviating the&nbsp;strain on the public healthcare system,” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS. “The nurses and carers in our network are at the&nbsp;core of our services. Their expertise and&nbsp;dedication allow us to continuously&nbsp;improve&nbsp;the delivery&nbsp;of&nbsp;high-quality care to our clients. The launch of the QHNA Mobile App gives nurses and carers greater access to job opportunities, while providing timely and effective healthcare support to the community. This marks a key milestone in our digital transformation journey. Looking ahead, we will continue to embrace innovation and explore new digital solutions to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of healthcare services, helping people live longer and healthier lives.”&nbsp; Since its establishment in 1975, the Quality HealthCare Nursing Agency (QHNA) has&nbsp;developed an extensive database of over 14,000 qualified and carefully selected self-employed nurses and carers. QHNA provides&nbsp;temporary staffing solutions for public and private hospitals, NGOs, elderly homes and clinics, while also offering curated medical care for homebound patients, including the elderly, individuals with chronic illnesses, and those with mobility&nbsp;difficulties.&nbsp; The new QHNA Mobile App innovates traditional nursing services, transforming how self-employed nurses and carers&nbsp;manage their&nbsp;work. With its user-friendly&nbsp;interface, registered service providers can access, save, and select job opportunities at their convenience. They can also review pay rates, track work progress, schedule shifts, and use GPS for easy check-ins, enhancing&nbsp;both work efficiency and income security. Nurses and carers can now register on QHNA Mobile App, where they&nbsp;are required to submit relevant professional qualifications and undergo a virtual interview with QHMS to ensure their services meet the company’s clinical governance standards. To encourage more service providers to join QHNA, registered members can earn additional incentives through referral or completing a designated number of shifts to unlock rewards. QHMS is dedicated to promoting a healthier future&nbsp;and enhancing the long-term wellbeing of Hong Kong residents. The QHNA Mobile App replaces traditional paper-based processes with a fully digital system, embracing environmentally friendly practices and working alongside nurses and carers to build a more sustainable future.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td style="border:1.0pt solid windowtext;padding:0in 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:151.45pt;"><img class="image_resized" style="width:87.62%;" src="/uploads/image_9571a6aa39.jpeg"></td><td style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:solid;border-width:1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:162.55pt;"><img class="image_resized" style="width:82.04%;" src="/uploads/image_7b019517b2.jpeg"></td><td style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:none;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:solid;border-width:1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:1.9in;"><img class="image_resized" style="width:100%;" src="/uploads/image_a5cb62e25d.jpeg"></td></tr><tr><td style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-color:windowtext;border-left-style:solid;border-right-style:solid;border-top-style:none;border-width:1.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:151.45pt;">The&nbsp;QHNA Mobile App streamlines the job application process, enabling nurses to receive real-time updates on job openings and shifts directly on their mobile devices.

Quality HealthCare Introduces New ‘Quality HealthCare Nursing Agency’ Mobile App to Empower Self-Employed Nurses and Carers with Easy Access to Job Opportunities 

New service expands comprehensive care options, delivering personalised nursing care in the comfort of their homes[Hong Kong –&nbsp;26 September 2024]&nbsp;As Hong Kong faces an ageing population, the need for accessible, in-home care has never been more urgent. In response, Quality HealthCare Medical Services Limited (QHMS), one of the private healthcare providers with over 150 years of history, is proud to announce the launch of ‘Quality HealthCare Home Care’ (‘Home Care’), a paid service offering personalised in-home nursing care designed to deliver high-quality healthcare support to elderly and patients.&nbsp; Hong Kong’s population is rapidly ageing, with the number of individuals aged 65 and over projected to rise from 1.5 million in 2021 to 2.52 million by 2039, representing 31% of the total population [1]. This demographic shift brings with it increasing&nbsp;health and social care needs and a higher prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly. As a result, there is an urgent demand for healthcare services that cater specifically to seniors. Addressing these needs is crucial for ensuring that elderly individuals receive the support they require to manage daily activities and maintain their quality of life.&nbsp; “As one of Hong Kong’s major private healthcare providers, QHMS places customers at the heart of everything we do,” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS. “We understand that ageing often comes with unique challenges, and we believe that seniors do not necessarily have to leave the comfort of homes to receive the care they need. Our new ‘Home Care’ service reflects our commitment to delivering comprehensive, patient-centric healthcare solutions that meet healthcare needs but also serve as a strong support system for the elderly and their families. By enabling our senior patients to age in familiar surroundings, we aim to alleviate the stress on families and provide peace of mind as they navigate the challenge of elderly care.” Home Care offers a broad range of nursing services through its network of over 14,000 registered nurses and healthcare professionals, providing personalised care that ensures the safety, comfort, and well-being of elderly individuals, post-surgery patients and those with chronic diseases. Certified under the ISO 9001:2015 international quality management standard, Quality HealthCare Nursing’s core values of commitment, affordability, respect and ethics guide us in delivering high-quality, compassionate care to every customer. This new service aligns with the Hong Kong Government’s mission to support the elderly with services that uphold dignity, security and belonging. The service is also available to holders of the Community Care Service Voucher (CCSV). We hope to ease the financial burden on elderly and their families, playing our part to contribute to the public healthcare system’s efforts to manage increasing demand. Key features of Home Care include:<ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li style="text-align:justify;">Customised access to services:&nbsp;Patients and their caregivers can easily enquire about services through a dedicated hotline, WhatsApp or the QHMS mobile app, with guaranteed matching within 48 hours and a variety of flexible programme options, including customised care arrangements and follow-ups.&nbsp;</li><li style="text-align:justify;">Dedicated care advisor:&nbsp;Each patient is paired with a care advisor who provides recommendations, develops a personalised plan, matches them with suitable nurses and carers, and oversees the entire care journey, adjusting services based on feedback to ensure the highest standard of care.</li><li style="text-align:justify;">Flexible services to meet varied needs:&nbsp;From ageing in place, medical escort&nbsp;(provided by healthcare assistants or health workers) to outreach healthcare services (provided by registered nurses), Home Care offers flexible service durations ranging from daily, weekly, monthly, or 24/7 care options.&nbsp;</li></ul><figure class="table"><table style="border-style:solid;"><tbody><tr><td>Ageing in Place</td><td>Outreach Healthcare Services</td><td>Medical Escort</td></tr><tr><td>Provides daily nursing and advanced healthcare services, such as: • Personal hygiene care • Daily living and nutrition support • Medical escort&nbsp; • Health monitoring&nbsp; • Rehabilitation support &nbsp;</td><td>Nursing services, including: • Wound/ pressure ulcer care • Medical injections • Intravenous infusion • Peritoneal dialysis • Changing nasogastric tubes, urinary catheters, and urine bags • Advanced health service needs • Caregiver training and support &nbsp;</td><td>Care-related support workers or healthcare workers accompany patients or elderly individuals to clinics or hospitals for medical appointments, ensuring safe, reliable transportation and assistance.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Looking forward, QHMS is dedicated to evolving and expanding its services to meet the dynamic healthcare needs of Hong Kong’s population.

Since its official launch in 2016, QHMS has been actively participating in the eHealth initiative – a significant milestone in Hong Kong's healthcare reform. &nbsp; In line with the global trend, QHMS has proactively embraced digital healthcare development in recent years to enhance patient experiences and streamline healthcare operations. Amid the pandemic,&nbsp;QHMS&nbsp;has made dedicated investments in resources to drive innovation, modernise healthcare technologies and digitise processes. The QHMS Mobile App has undergone substantial advancements, ensuring healthcare services are more accessible and responsive to the evolving needs of users.&nbsp; Moreover, QHMS has successfully achieved seamless integration and data sharing with the eHealth platform in 2023. With the patients' consent, their information can now be securely uploaded to eHealth, empowering individuals to have greater control over their personal health management.

Bupa Hong Kong Introduces New Diagnostics and Imaging Centre with Quality HealthCare, Expanding Healthcare Services in Hong Kong    

[Hong Kong – 7 November 2023]&nbsp;As a major primary healthcare provider in Hong Kong, Quality HealthCare Medical Services Limited (QHMS) is committed to supporting the local primary healthcare Chronic Disease Co-Care Pilot Scheme (CDCC Pilot Scheme) to be launched on 13 November 2023. &nbsp;53 doctors of QHMS have participated in the scheme, representing almost one-fifth (16%) of the total number of participating doctors in Hong Kong.&nbsp;&nbsp;“We are dedicated to easing the strain on Hong Kong’s primary healthcare system and ensuring public access to healthcare services. Our commitment is reflected in our active support of the Government’s primary healthcare blueprint and chronic disease management initiative,&nbsp;emphasising a&nbsp;‘Prediction, Prevention and Treatment’ approach,” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of QHMS.&nbsp;“Furthering our support to&nbsp;promote the ‘Family Doctor For All’ concept, we are also fully committed to facilitate the launch of the CDCC Pilot Scheme and development in the local primary healthcare services. Looking ahead, our goal is to expand assistance to patients through the&nbsp;CDCC Pilot Scheme and GOPC PPP, thereby reducing the burden on the public healthcare system.”&nbsp;Primary healthcare in the post-pandemic era&nbsp;QHMS has leveraged service feedback, data analysis and insightful observations to unveil three significant trends shaping primary healthcare needs in the post-pandemic era. These trends include the population aging phenomenon, family doctors to address the growing demand&nbsp;for chronic illness management&nbsp;and the lifelong electronic health record.&nbsp;In response to the government’s promotion of the “Family Doctor For All” concept, 53 doctors from QHMS have registered to participate in the CDCC Pilot Scheme, providing screening services to Hong Kong residents aged 45 or above with no known medical history of hypertension or diabetes mellitus. This aims to support the prevention of diseases and management of chronic diseases at an early stage.&nbsp;&nbsp;QHMS recognises the instrumental role of digital technology in fostering a sustainable primary healthcare system. To this end, it has enhanced its patient portal, Quality HealthCare mobile app, in October embracing a comprehensive digital transformation process that combines online-to-offline solutions. The upgrade provides convenient access to information related to the CDCC Pilot Scheme, PPP, and related programmes, as well as checking the remaining balance of the Health Care Vouchers and the addition of personalised health assessment tools. As of September 2023, the mobile app has garnered over 300,000 user registrations, showcasing a remarkable growth of nearly double (92%) from 2020 to 2022.&nbsp;In addition, QHMS is in support of the government's forthcoming "eHealth+" initiative, which aims to create personalised eHealth accounts for residents, centralising electronic medical records from both the public and private sectors. QHMS has established a system with "eHealth" to&nbsp;facilitate the exchange of records between the government and&nbsp;QHMS patients, enabling the sharing of medication history, drug allergy information, and vaccination records. With the patient's consent, relevant data will be uploaded to the electronic health system, granting healthcare providers to access to and share the patient’s medical records within the system for healthcare-related purposes.&nbsp;“In the wake of the pandemic, heightened public awareness of health has reshaped the demand for primary healthcare services. With a steadfast commitment to meeting the diverse needs of citizens in our city, we continuously strive to improve and enhance&nbsp;our services. Our primary objective is to cater to the healthcare needs of patients and caretakers while effectively reducing the burden on Hong Kong’s healthcare system,” said Dr. Chow Yat, Executive Medical Director of QHMS.&nbsp;Data reveals growing need in primary healthcare services&nbsp;Doctors of QHMS promptly joined the GOPC PPP upon its launch in 2014. Over the past five years, the number of patients visiting QHMS for doctor consultations has nearly tripled, with a remarkable increase of 271% from 3,342 treatments in 2018 to 12,045 treatments in 2022. This highlights the continued demand within the community and evident success in alleviating the pressure on the Hospital Authority (HA) to&nbsp;deliver general outpatient clinic services. As of October 2023, a total of 3,108 patients have already benefited from the GOPC PPP by seeking doctor consultations at QHMS, representing an approximate 10% increase compared to the full year of 2022. It is anticipated that the number of patients served by QHMS’ doctors will continue to grow.&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, there has been a substantial surge in the uptake of non-COVID-19 vaccines from 2021 and 2022. In 2022/23, the number of individuals receiving seasonal influenza vaccines by doctors at QHMS through the Vaccination Subsidy Scheme reached 30,164, indicating a 35% year-on-year increase,&nbsp;nine percentage points higher than the overall 26% year-on-year increase in seasonal influenza vaccine uptake across Hong Kong<a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a>. Additionally, the number of individuals aged 65 or above receiving pneumococcal vaccines by QHMS’ doctors through the Vaccination Subsidy Scheme has surged to 1,516, equivalent to a rise of 85% in comparison to the previous year. This growth rate surpasses the government’s 53% increase in pneumococcal vaccines uptake among individuals aged 65 and above through the Government Vaccination Programme (GVP) and the Vaccination Subsidy Scheme<a href="#_ftn2">[2]</a>.&nbsp;Ms Chu added, “Digital technology in healthcare is revolutionising patient care by enhancing access to information, these advancements reflect a commitment to meeting the evolving needs of customers.”&nbsp;In the future, QHMS will continue to prioritise alleviating the burden on the local primary healthcare system and promoting wellbeing for all. Through strategic utilisation of technology and fostering robust&nbsp;partnerships, QHMS is dedicated to delivering the necessary healthcare services to the local&nbsp;community, enabling individuals to&nbsp;live longer, healthier, happier lives.&nbsp;-END- &nbsp;<hr><a href="#_ftnref1">[1]</a> “Statistics on Vaccination Programmes in the Past 3 years – Seasonal Influenza Vaccination”&nbsp;Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102226.html">https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102226.html</a>&nbsp;<a href="#_ftnref2">[2]</a>&nbsp;“Statistics on Vaccination Programmes in the Past 3 years – Pneumococcal Vaccination”&nbsp;Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102226.html">https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102226.html</a>

In future healthcare, we believe digital technology brings in safe and convenient services in addition to people-centric considerations. This smart clinic integrates this two-in-one approach, becoming our essential blueprint for future clinic development.&nbsp;This smart clinic in Yuen Long is QHMS’ first clinic with application of the digital healthcare procedure. Healthcare professionals at the clinic can serve patients more fluidly through dedicated tablets. &nbsp;The physical examination data, such as blood pressure, blood oxygen level and heart health records, can be transmitted to the patients’ mobile phone in real-time via the tablets. The detailed physical examination information will be recorded through the electronic medical record system. It provides medical professionals a remote and flexible monitoring of the patients’ medical records and health data, while patients are empowered to review their health data through QHMS mobile app and for better self-management.&nbsp;&nbsp;The combination of digital technology and high-quality medical experiences is applicable in the clinic operational procedures. Customers can conveniently make appointments for general outpatient, dental and physical examination of smart clinic simply through e-ticketing, e-booking on the QHMS mobile app, and instant messaging app. Quality HealthCare has also taken sustainability into action, digitising most clinical process, with consultation registration, health declaration and physical examination reports completed in a paperless manner. This service can effectively reduce traditional medical and nursing administrative procedures, enabling our staff to have more time connecting with our patients and caring for their needs.&nbsp;Go beyond tradition, rolling out a 360⁰ approach with "Prediction, Prevention and Treatment" ecosystem&nbsp;&nbsp;QHMS foresees that healthcare is no longer about seeking help when people are sick, but staying well by predicting and preventing illness. In addition to new smart clinic, QHMS has invested heavily on its mobile app upgrade including virtual consultations with general practitioners, specialists and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, as well as digi-health points development. With the integration of physician clinics and virtual consultation services through technology, the medical and healthcare services will be more focused towards the needs of patients and customers, walking the talk of our commitment under the new brand image, “Simple and all-rounded - leading into the new generation to practise the new future of healthcare and safeguarding the health of the public."&nbsp;“The brand evolution marks an important milestone for Quality HealthCare. As an industry leader with extensive networks of private clinics and healthcare expertise, we always shoulder the public’s health and well-being. Moving into the new healthcare era, our brand evolution and first smart clinic have emphasised our commitment to innovation and future medical services development. We will continue devoting resources to develop digital healthcare services, to bring in young generations with the same ambition and to partner with innovative healthcare start-ups and corporates, in order to establish the healthcare ecosystems with more accessible services.” said Elaine Chu, General Manager of Quality HealthCare.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Moving forward, we will continue to make a difference to as many lives as possible, taking pride in our consistently high clinical standards. We will actively expand our network and explore the transformation of digi-health. We look forward to building QHMS as the trusted healthcare partner of the public in the years to come, helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives and making a better world,” Elaine added.&nbsp;***&nbsp;Notes to editors:&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:226.55pt;"><figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/Picture1_9ecbde450c.jpg" alt="QHMS’ new branding debuted at its first smart clinic in Yuen Long Yuccie Square."></figure></td><td style="padding:0cm 5.4pt;vertical-align:top;width:224.25pt;"><figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/Picture2_e85b9ed732.jpg" alt="QHMS’ smart clinic integrates digital technology and people-centric considerations and becoming its essential blueprint for future clinic development.

Quality HealthCare announces brand evolution to practice the new future of healthcare - Unveiling QHMS’ all-rounded digital healthcare ambition with the grand opening of its first-ever smart clinic

[香港，2022年4月1日]&nbsp;卓健醫療一直積極支援政府抗疫，除為有需要的團體進行外展疫苗接種服務外，我們亦調撥資源成為兩間社區接種中心及三間公立醫院新冠疫苗接種站的夥伴醫療機構，並安排旗下診所為市民接種疫苗。與市民攜手抗疫的同時，支援非新冠肺炎病人在疫情期間的醫療需要同樣重要。為了令基層市民能以可負擔價錢使用門診服務，卓健醫療與賽馬會和社福機構攜手協作，參與成為「病有醫靠」門診服務資助計劃協作伙伴。&nbsp;受第五波疫情影響，超過 30&nbsp;間醫院管理局普通科門診要轉為 2019&nbsp;冠狀病毒病確診個案指定診所或暫停服務，造成可負擔的門診服務短缺，或令基層市民延遲就醫或不願就醫。作為香港最大規模的私營醫療服務機構之一，由即日起至6月23日，合資格非新冠肺炎病人均可透過賽馬會「病有醫靠」門診服務資助計劃，於卓健醫療旗下13間診所，共35名普通科門診醫生，以50港元診金，獲得門診診症服務及三日基本藥物。&nbsp;計劃主要照顧偶發性疾病病人的醫療需要，馬會慈善信託基金會為每名受惠人士津貼250港元，餘下成本將由診所承擔。如因病情需要多於三日藥物或藥物需額外收費，醫生會與病人商討再作決定。&nbsp;***&nbsp;編者註：<figure

Quality HealthCare officially kicks off partnership with Watsons Hong Kong - The first Chinese medicine centre in Watsons store opens on Yun Ping Road, Causeway Bay

[Hong Kong, 9 September 2021]&nbsp;With winter flu season approaching, Quality HealthCare (QHMS) today announces the launch of the 2021/22 quadrivalent influenza vaccination service to support the public to reduce the flu infection risk. The Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health announced earlier this week that the Vaccination Subsidy Scheme (VSS) will commence next month. As usual, Quality HealthCare supports the government’s appeal and continues to play our part in the VSS programme by providing vaccination services in our clinics.&nbsp;As the trusted healthcare partner of the public, flu vaccination services are available in all Quality HealthCare Medical Centres from now on. The public is able to make an appointment via the QHMS mobile app. In order to facilitate early vaccination, QHMS also provides an early bird privilege price of HK$255/shot1 in our eShop. Since it takes about two weeks after vaccination for the antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against flu virus infection, the members of the public are advised to get vaccinated as soon as possible to ensure proper protection of themselves and their families during the flu season.&nbsp;In addition, Quality HealthCare has been actively supporting the Government’s VSS programme with our wide network of clinics. This year, eligible persons under VSS can also make an appointment via the QHMS mobile app for flu vaccination starting from next month.&nbsp;<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Details of our flu vaccination services:</h3>Quadrivalent Vaccination by muscle injectionMembers of the public：Applicable for aged 13 or above•&nbsp;&nbsp;HK$255 (early bird price)&nbsp;Applicable for aged between 6 months and 12 years•&nbsp;&nbsp;HK$355 (early bird price)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Eligible persons of the VSS programme：• Free of charge (no co-payment)&nbsp;Quadrivalent FluMist by nasal sprayMembers of the public：Applicable for aged between 2 and 49•&nbsp;&nbsp;HK$500&nbsp;Eligible persons of the VSS programme：•&nbsp;&nbsp;HK$260 co-payment(after the deduction of Government subsidy)&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;1Children aged under 13 need to undergo pre-vaccination consultation at the cost of HK$100.&nbsp;<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Things to note about flu vaccination during COVID-19 pandemic&nbsp;</h3><h3 style="text-align:justify;">– by Dr. Geoffrey Lau, Medical Director (Western Medicine) of Quality HealthCare</h3><figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/dr_lau_4522af9ffe.jpeg" alt="Dr. Lau seated at his desk with skyscrapers visible in the windows behind"></figure>Q：Why do I need to get vaccinated every year?Dr. Lau：Flu viruses change from year to year, so the natural protection or immunity you develop after catching a particular strain of flu virus does not necessarily protect you against another strain of flu virus. In addition, a vaccine made against one flu virus may not protect you against a different strain. That is why the flu vaccine is updated each year to include current strains of the year. Another reason to get flu vaccination every year is that after you get a flu shot, your immunity to the flu declines over time and may not provide adequate protection after one year.&nbsp;Q：Can I take flu vaccine together with COVID-19 vaccine?Dr. Lau：According to the Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases, it is recommended to separate the COVID-19 vaccine with other vaccines by at least an interval of 14 days. And you are advised to follow the immunisation schedule of COVID-19 vaccines (i.e. 28 days apart for CoronaVac [SinoVac] and 21 days apart for Comirnaty[BioNTech/Pfizer]).&nbsp;Q：What are the advantages of taking flu vaccine under COVID-19?Dr. Lau：Co-infection of COVID-19 and flu increases morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the public should consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine and flu vaccine to strengthen protection under the COVID-19 pandemic. Flu vaccination has been shown to be able to reduce the severity of illness, the likelihood of hospitalisation, complication rate, and length of hospital stay. It also helps to reduce the risk of cross infection.&nbsp;Q：If I am experiencing side effects after COVID-19 vaccine, should I take flu shots?Dr. Lau：It is common and normal to have reactions after vaccination, such as fever, malaise, muscle pain, which means our body immunity is working. You should seek medical advice if you are not feeling well before vaccination, whether with or without fever.&nbsp;Q：Will the side effect of flu vaccine be intensified by the COVID-19 vaccine?Dr. Lau：There is no known interaction between the flu vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines.&nbsp;Q：If I was advised not to take COVID-19 vaccines, can I take flu vaccines?Dr. Lau：Those with known contraindications to COVID-19 vaccines may not be suitable for flu vaccines, please seek medical advice before taking flu shots.&nbsp;– End –<hr>Notes to editorThe Quality HealthCare mobile app is available at App Store and Google Play for flu vaccination booking:<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image image-style-align-right image_resized" style="width:50%;"><a href="https://apps.apple.com/hk/app/quality-healthcare-mobile-app/id1493247674" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="/uploads/ios_qr_4276ebb273.jpg" alt="click to download qhms app from ios app store"></a></figure></td><td><figure class="image image-style-align-left image_resized" style="width:50%;"><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qhms.eportal.clinicone" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="/uploads/an_qr_eca3f4ba08.jpg" alt="click to download qhms app from google app store"></a></figure></td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Quality HealthCare Launches Flexi Check-up Plan and Mobile App Lucky Draw in Support of the Consumption Voucher Scheme

HONG KONG, March 25, 2021&nbsp;-HKT (SEHK: 6823) and Quality HealthCare Medical Services ("Quality HealthCare") today announced the launch of mental health consultations (including counselling and psychotherapy) and psychiatric services on the DrGo platform, providing DrGo users with access to specialty services for the very first time. &nbsp;HKT's one-stop telemedicine platform DrGo aims to connect users with registered Hong Kong doctors and other healthcare professionals for video consultations. As one of the largest private medical service providers in Hong Kong, Quality HealthCare has been supporting holistic healthcare while advocating the digitalisation of related services. Given the increasing public awareness of mental health issues, DrGo and Quality HealthCare have joined hands once again to expand the scope of services from general practice only to now include mental health video consultations, empowering users to manage both their physical and mental wellbeing.&nbsp;The remote psychological consultation provided by Quality HealthCare includes counselling and psychotherapy, as well as psychiatric services. Psychiatric video consultation is the first specialty service being offered on the DrGo platform, providing a more comprehensive healthcare experience for users. The remote counselling and psychotherapy consultation will be conducted by counsellors or registered psychologists, who will help users cultivate a positive attitude and develop an optimistic outlook through education and by establishing a close and trusting relationship with them. Following professional assessment and if deemed necessary, users may be referred to psychiatrists who specialise in mood disorders, psychological problems, insomnia, anxiety, depression and other psychiatric disorders. Users can also directly book a video consultation with a psychiatrist. Appointments can be made via the online booking system on the DrGo platform. Users can then attend their scheduled video consultation from the comfort of their home. The new service not only removes the need for users to physically visit a clinic, but also allows them to choose an environment where they feel safe to share their personal mental health concerns, enhancing the overall treatment progress and experience.&nbsp;In response to the current pandemic situation, DrGo and Quality HealthCare will jointly provide chronic disease caregivers from South Kwai Chung Social Service with 100 free remote counselling sessions (of 30 minutes each) on the DrGo platform. Through this initiative, the two companies hope to ease some of the stress experienced by these caregivers. &nbsp;Aside from video consultations on DrGo, a wide range of healthcare products and services are also available on the DrGo Health Store online. Currently, Quality Healthcare provides five categories of products and services including body checks, eye examinations, cancer screening, vaccination services and dietary consultations, making it the healthcare partner with the most comprehensive offerings on the DrGo Health Store.

Our scope of services is now extended to psychological and psychiatric consultations provided by Quality HealthCare, connecting users with registered psychologists and psychiatrists in Hong Kong. Through video consultations, we hope to bring users efficient and prompt mental health support. By employing HealthTech and collaborating with different healthcare providers, we are committed to offering more diverse and more user-friendly remote consultation services. Looking ahead, we aim to expand our services into the areas of chronic disease management and dietary consultations, supporting the public with healthcare services of a higher quality."&nbsp;Ms. Elaine Chu, General Manager of Quality HealthCare, said, "Public health and wellbeing has always been our top priority at Quality HealthCare. We are dedicated to catering to the healthcare needs of people. Over the recent years, we have actively promoted the advancement of digital healthcare, combining online and offline services to bring the public more comprehensive and personalised protection. This has proved to be even more essential since the onset of the pandemic, which resulted in a significant change in people's lifestyles. We are delighted to be an important partner of DrGo. In addition to remote general practice consultations, we look forward to providing remote psychological counselling and psychotherapy services, as well as psychiatric service which is the first specialty service offered on the platform, together with our other healthcare products and services that are available on the health store. We believe that we can help users overcome some of the barriers to seeking mental health support by allowing them to open up in an environment of their own choosing.

The persistent &nbsp;COVID-19 pandemic has brought us to a new normal, raising people's health awareness of both themselves and &nbsp;their family- as well as, accelerating the digitalization of healthcare services. QHMS as one of the largest private medical services providers in Hong Kong, has always been committed to better understanding the public's changing needs for medical and healthcare services. In recent years, QHMS has also been actively digitized, making &nbsp;medical and healthcare services more convenient with quality assurance.&nbsp;Under the collaboration, QHMS has launched a brand new "QHMS Wellness Online Shop" with Wellness Dollars account feature, serving BOC Life's customers and staff members of Bank of China (Hong Kong).&nbsp; Designated BOC Life's customers can redeem selected health products and services through Wellness Dollars.

BOC Life intends to provide premium discounts or increased insurance coverage to existing insurance customers whose medical examination indexes have reached specified targets.&nbsp;In addition, BOC Life will gradually introduce more cross-industry partners to jointly create a healthcare ecosystem for customers, with innovative technology and personalized products while bringing multiple wins to all. &nbsp;It will help fill the health protection gap of people, encouraging customers to develop healthy habits, and raising customers' awareness on health and wellbeing. Together with our customers, BOC Life will promote the new concept of preventive healthcare.&nbsp;Wilson Tang, Chief Executive of BOC Life, said, "The average life expectancy in Hong Kong is getting longer. According to the data published by the Census and Statistics Department, the average life expectancy at birth is 82.2 years for men and 88.1 years for women[2]. In the epidemic era, whether the increased life expectancy comes with sickness or healthiness has become one of the key concerns. In the future, life insurance coverage, including annuities, plans of critical illnesses and legacy protection, should provide customers with self-care health management, elevating insurance function from its traditional post-event claims to illness prevention. We are currently in discussion with the leading global smart watch brand Garmin and the French reinsurance group SCOR with a view to fostering a strategic partnership. With reference to the successful international experience cored by insurance company, we will partner with technology companies and companies of diverse healthcare industries. Hopefully, in the first quarter of next year, we could bring a brand-new self-care health management experience to customers in Hong Kong."&nbsp;Elaine Chu, General Manager of Quality HealthCare, said, "Supporting people's holistic health and mental wellbeing is always our priority. Apart from striving to provide high-quality healthcare services, we actively advocate the public to manage their health by understanding their own health situation and starting with preventive healthcare. We really value our collaboration with BOC Life as the first partner in their healthcare ecosystem, which enables our health and medical services to reach a more extensive customer network. Through this alliance, we call for customers from all walks of life to pay more attention to the prevention of chronic diseases in addition to focusing on combating the pandemic. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. While we grow quickly with the times and transform healthcare delivery with digital experiences, we are offering the community our diversified and comprehensive healthcare services in a fast and easy way, empowering them to manage their own and their family's health anytime, anywhere."&nbsp;BOC Life takes pragmatic actions to walk with its customers. Customers who have successfully enrolled the designated life insurance plans within the designated period are potentially entitled for $6000 Wellness Dollars. Customers can spend the Wellness Dollars fully or top up with additional payment to redeem a series of selected health products and services provided by QHMS at an "enjoyable price".

Quality HealthCare Launches Fully-enhanced Mobile App

香港，2017年5月11日 – 卓健醫療(卓健)一直關註市民健康，並以公私營合作方式支持及參與「大腸癌篩查先導計劃」。卓健綜合分析截至本年3月31日的數據，發現於第一及第二階段中在大便隱血測試結果呈陽性的比率，分別為13.8%及9.4%，屬偏高水平。而在卓健於2016年的內部數據中，60歲或以上的男性在同一測試結果呈陽性的比率為5.29%，而女性比率更稍高，為5.36%，一反公眾以為大腸癌是「男人病」的錯覺。卓健提醒合資格市民，不分男女，應盡早參加「大腸癌篩查先導計劃」作檢查，以及早醫治和提高治療成效。&nbsp;衛生署去年9月28日展開為期三年的「大腸癌篩查先導計劃」(下稱「計劃」)，以協助找出患癌風險較高或已經患大腸癌的人士。計劃以公私營協作模式推行，繼第一階段計劃先資助1946至1948年期間出生的人士，第二階段亦已於本年2月27日起推行。807名第一階段人士及440名第二階段人士通過卓健的基層醫療醫生進行大便隱血測試，結果呈陽性的比率分別為13.8%及9.4%，屬偏高水平。卓健期後一共為84名第一階段人士作大腸鏡檢查，當中72人發現有瘜肉，佔總數86%；另為7名第二階段人士作大腸鏡檢查，5人發現有瘜肉。於發現瘜肉個案中，共7 宗經化驗後證實患大腸癌。數據亦顯示，第一階段的首月參與人數為160人，第二階段則為320人，升幅差不多達一倍。&nbsp;卓健執行醫務總監周一醫生表示:「參與先導計劃的人數大幅增加，反映有更多合資格人士認識計劃，並會主動找基層醫生檢查，可見政府推廣計劃半年以來，達致一定成效。政府可考慮讓計劃進一步『年輕化』，並加強推廣宣傳，讓公眾加深認識計劃，惠及更多香港市民。」&nbsp;另外，卓健亦於2016年為5,763名15至90歲參加體格檢查的病人進行大便隱血測試，發現50歲或以上人士呈陽性的比率，男性為4.05%，女性為2.28%，對比總體相關比率2.26%及1.46%明顯較高。男性群組在測試結果中呈陽性的比率一直比女性高，但到60歲或以上，男女群組的相關比率相若，男性為5.29%，女性則為5.36%。而兩者比率都超過5%，均屬於高危。周一醫生表示:「以往年紀較大的女性或較多關註乳癌、子宮頸癌等女性疾病，不過是次數據顯示，大腸癌並不是『男人病』，建議女性亦應盡早檢查。雖然『大腸癌篩查先導計劃』暫時只覆蓋1946至1951年出生的人士，但根據我們的內部數據及臨床經驗，建議50歲或以上人士亦應作定期檢查。」&nbsp;於卓健為最多病人進行大腸癌檢查的外科專科醫生伍梓奇則指出，約1%瘜肉會出現癌前病變，並演化為癌癥。參加「大腸癌篩查先導計劃」的市民沒有任何病徵，警覺性或因此較低，較大機會找到瘜肉，而且瘜肉通常比較大，容易找到大於10毫米的瘜肉，並較容易出現癌前病變。伍醫生說：「計劃開展初期，我們檢查的首十多名人士，全部發現瘜肉。計劃的目的，就是要讓未察覺有問題、沒有病徵的人士盡早發現病變，從而接受治療，減低健康風險。因此從目前的臨床經驗而言，計劃表現符合預期。早期檢查及診斷可及早醫治，亦令治療更容易，對病人的心理、生理都有好處，也可減低醫療開支。」

大腸癌非男性專利 合資格男女應盡早參加「大腸癌篩查先導計劃」(Chinese Version Only)

​香港，2016年8月9日 – 都市人常見的慢性疾病如心臟病、糖尿病等，除了基因的因素外，大多與生活和飲食習慣關係密切。定期進行體格檢查，有助及早察覺潛在健康風險，然而大部分人對此認知不多，未能把握時機進行有效的健康管理。&nbsp;卓健醫療服務有限公司(下稱卓健醫療) 檢視超過22,000個年齡介乎18至65歲，於2014年7月至2015年6月期間到卓健進行體檢的個案，進行已去識別化的數據分析，以年齡組別及性別切入，評估6項重要健康指數: 體重指標(BMI)、空腹血糖、總膽固醇、高密度膽固醇(俗稱「好膽固醇」)、低密度膽固醇(俗稱「壞膽固醇」)及三酸甘油脂。內分泌及糖尿科專科醫生利一指出，數據顯示港人的多項指數超標情況顯著。其中男士於多項指數均跑輸女士。此外，31歲成健康「轉捩點」，擁有兩項或以上指數超標的人數隨年齡上升。以上結果顯示患上慢性疾病如心臟病或糖尿病、甚或中風等的風險增加。&nbsp;6大指數整體超標人數隨年齡上升研究發現，BMI及總膽固醇各錄得近五成個案超標，壞膽固醇亦有近四成人士超標。各項指數的超標比率隨年齡上升，其中體重指標、總膽固醇及壞膽固醇的升幅較為顯著。&nbsp;男士多項指數跑輸女士研究同時發現，男士比女士面對的健康風險更高。以BMI為例，每10個男士就有7個超標，超標情況較女士多逾一倍；男士空腹血糖的超標情況亦同樣比女士多一倍；更值得關注的是，男士三酸甘油脂的超標情況較女士多近三倍。&nbsp;2項或以上指數同時超標者大有人在近三成半年齡31-40歲組別人士擁有兩項或以上指數超標，即每三個人便有一個有以上情況，相較年齡介乎21-30歲的組別，升幅逾八成(見圖1)。&nbsp;圖1: 不同年齡組別、擁有兩項或以上指數超標人數之百分比<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/graph1_ada66d512b.jpg"></figure>另外，21-30歲組別中BMI略為超標的人士，相較同年齡組別BMI少於23的人士，逾兩成半於餘下的5項指數中，擁有兩項或以上指數超標，當中增幅逾九成(見圖2)。&nbsp;圖2: 不同BMI、年齡組別及擁有兩項或以上指數超標人數之百分比<figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/graph2_4b6f9f29d5.jpg"></figure>百份比 =&nbsp; 兩項或以上指數超標 人數 (空腹血糖/總膽固醇/好膽固醇/壞膽固醇/三酸甘油脂)&nbsp;÷&nbsp;特定BMI及年齡 組別 人數 &nbsp;不容忽視的是，在BMI少於23的總體個案、並擁有兩項或以上其他指數超標的人士中，每3人便有1人的壞膽固醇超標，每4人便有1人的總膽固醇超標。&nbsp;30歲起定期作體格檢查卓健醫療內分泌及糖尿科專科醫生利一表示:「定期體格檢查是健康管理的重要一環。然而，大部分人對此認知不多，未能及早發現潛在風險，進行有效的健康管理，甚至錯過治療的黃金時間。最典型的個案，是正值壯年、30出頭的上班一族，因為長期工作繁忙，作息不定時又缺乏運動，從沒察覺自己已受高膽固醇威脅，到自覺身體出現毛病時才求醫，除了需從生活習慣及飲食管理著手外，較嚴重的更需要服食降膽固醇藥物控制病情。另外亦需要注意的是，有不少體型適中甚至瘦削的上班一族，以為BMI正常則代表身體健康，但其實總膽固醇壞膽固醇指數同樣有機會超標，暗藏危機。」利醫生建議，從今次研究顯示，BMI正常人士可考慮於30歲作第一次包括血脂及血糖檢驗的體格檢查。由於各項高危因素不達標風險隨年齡增加，若然首次檢驗結果正常，可於五年後再覆檢。若然BMI超過23，則可考慮早於20多歲時已作首次檢查，及早了解身體狀況。&nbsp;飲食著手 減低健康風險註冊營養師佘綺玲指，近年三十多歲男士需要飲食管理的個案明顯增加，部分人外表瘦削，卻有大肚腩，三酸甘油脂指數亦偏高。「一些常見的健康飲食迷思，可能成為指數超標的『元兇』。例如: 誤以為多吃水果及飲果汁是健康之舉，但其實攝入太多果糖可引致血糖上升並致肥，結果可能比進食蛋糕和甜品更差。其次，以餅乾和麵包取代糖果、朱古力等零食，看似比較健康，事實是餅乾和麵包含高澱粉質，易致血糖、三酸甘油脂上升。不少人認為工作繁忙，於兩餐儘量多吃以免捱餓，但吃得太飽亦易引致上述指數上升。」佘綺玲更補充，胡亂戒吃肉類、海鮮、蛋黃等，未必有助控制膽固醇:「不吃肉類，為了飽肚反而吃下更多飯麵等高澱粉質食物，效果適得其反，亦可能令蛋白質吸收不足。壞膽固醇或會下降，但三酸甘油脂則會上升，增加肥胖或動脈硬化等風險。而海鮮及蛋黄等食物中天然存在的膽固醇對我們身體不會有太大影響，反之酥皮麵包、油炸食物等的高飽和脂肪及反式脂肪會直接轉化成壞膽固醇，影響健康。」佘綺玲建議，從管理飲食著手，配合適量運動，可望減低上述6大指標的超標風險。&nbsp;<ul><li style="text-align:justify;">適量攝取5大類食物 (蔬菜、水果、穀物、蛋白質、健康脂肪)</li><li style="text-align:justify;">正餐少鹽少糖少油</li><li style="text-align:justify;">兩餐之間謝絕無益零食，以適量水果、果仁取代</li><li style="text-align:justify;">以低糖或無糖飲料取代汽水、果汁</li><li style="text-align:justify;">適量運動，每天至少步行8,000步 &nbsp;</li></ul><figure class="image"><img src="/uploads/infographic_final_20160804_v2_237937e38c.jpg"></figure>

衛生署今日公布，將於2016年稍後(9月)以公私營協作模式推行大腸癌篩查先導計劃，合資格市民接受大腸鏡檢查或大便隱血篩選檢查，政府均會提供大部分資助。卓健醫療服務有限公司(下稱「卓健醫療」)歡迎政府開展此項計劃，以提高市民對大腸癌的警覺性，從而減低發病率及死亡率。卓健醫療期望透過積極配合相關醫療政策，加強公私營合作，舒緩公共醫療系統的負擔，達致市民、政府及業界三贏局面。&nbsp;&nbsp;有關大腸癌篩查先導計劃根據醫管局香港癌症資料統計中心的資料，2013年大腸癌在香港的發病率已經排列首位，而死亡率亦排第二位*。&nbsp;作為本港最大私營醫療服務機構之一，卓健醫療致力推廣基層健康教育，以提高市民對常見疾病的預防意識。不少醫學研究均建議，年逾50歲的中年人士應積極考慮定期進行大腸鏡檢查，以防患未然。即使未達50歲，如直系親屬有相關病史，亦應及早開始檢驗，以持續監察健康狀況，減低患上大腸癌的風險。故此，卓健醫療歡迎政府開展大腸癌篩查先導計劃，資助61至70歲的市民接受大腸癌篩查，一旦察覺有任何問題，亦能及早治療。&nbsp;卓健深明公共醫療系統有其局限，亦非常關注社區不同階層人士的健康需要，故一直積極參與各項公私營合作項目，當中包括: 兒童及長者疫苗接種計劃、長者醫療券計劃、普通科門診公私營協作計劃、以及為醫管局病人提供放射診斷造影服務優惠等，積極配合政府政策，從而舒緩公營醫療系統的壓力。&nbsp;就大腸癌篩查先導計劃即將推出，卓健醫療旗下的醫療設施具相當的容納能力，以應付計劃下的各項測試及檢查。卓健醫療設有3間內窺鏡中心，提供大腸鏡檢查服務，中心配備先進儀器及設備，環境舒適，質素媲美私營醫院的水平。&nbsp;&nbsp;作為私營醫療的重要持份者，卓健醫療將全面配合大腸鏡癌篩查先導計劃，待衛生署公布更多詳情後，將進一步落實具體執行細節。&nbsp;*&nbsp;<a href="http://www3.ha.org.hk/cancereg/statistics.html​​​">http://www3.ha.org.hk/cancereg/statistics.html​​​</a>&nbsp;卓健醫療2016年04月14日

香港，2016年3月23日 – 自2014年起，普通科門診公私營協作計劃於屯門、觀塘及黃大仙三區推出，及至2016年初，醫管局就計劃進行中期檢討，提出多項改善建議，並擬於本年稍後開始，將計劃分階段推展至18區。卓健醫療(卓健)一直積極參與各項公私營協作計劃，歡迎醫管局拓展普通科門診公私營協作計劃(GOPC)至更多區域，為配合發展方向，卓健旗下全數合資格普通科醫生，將分階段加入計劃，並開展「GOPC藥物處方優化計劃」，在現行計劃的特定藥物名單以外，增備19種藥物，期望透過其龐大門診網絡，提高基層醫療服務的便捷度及靈活度，舒緩公營醫療系統負擔，惠及更多有需要的病人。&nbsp;支援社區病人需要 &nbsp; - &nbsp;優化藥物名單、增參與醫生數目&nbsp;現行普通科門診公私營協作計劃下，服務對象為病情穩定之高血壓(或附帶高血脂症)患者，合資格病人獲醫管局邀請後可到私營診所作跟進及覆診。每次覆診，病人只需繳付45元(相等於普通科門診診金)，醫生會按病人情況選擇醫管局提供之特定藥物，包括: 抗高血壓藥、抗高血壓補充藥物、調節血脂藥、降血糖藥，以及抗生素等(合共21種藥物)，病人亦可自費選用計劃範圍以外的藥物。作為本港最大型私營醫療機構之一，卓健致力為病人提供優質的醫療服務，故早前主動與藥業界人士磋商，在計劃的特定藥物名單範圍以外增備包括: 調節血脂、降血糖藥物、抗生素、外用抗真菌藥及抗炎止痛藥等藥物(詳見「參考資料」)，讓病人於可負擔的價格之下，享有更多藥物選擇。&nbsp;卓健執行醫務總監邱家駿醫生表示:「高血壓患者大多需要長期服藥，以穩定及控制病情。處方藥物的時候，醫生既要考慮療效，亦需顧及病人的生活質素，平衡藥物療效、副作用和價錢，為病人作出最合適的選擇。有見及此，卓健主動與藥業界人士聯繫，並獲得藥廠支持，使卓健可開展「GOPC藥物處方優化計劃」，以低於連鎖藥房售價一半的價格，提供更多藥物予普通科門診公私營協作計劃的病人。期望透過這項優化措施，讓病人在特定藥物名單以外有更多適切的藥物選擇，長遠而言，亦有助舒緩他們的經濟負擔。」香港科研製藥聯會執行董事陳素娟指出：「聯會支持所有可使病人儘快獲得有效治療的方案，故亦認為業界能夠支持政府公私營協作計劃，為香港的基層醫療服務出力是一件好事。」而美國默沙東藥廠及拜耳醫療保健均表示，期望透過是次與卓健的合作，支持政府普通科門診公私營協作計劃，支援有需要的病人。&nbsp;邱醫生補充: 「卓健一直推動企業社會責任的理念，為社會及病人多作承擔。自2014年起，我們積極支持醫管局普通科門診公私營協作先導計劃，位於觀塘、黃大仙及屯門三區轄下6間醫療中心、合共8位醫生已經參與其中，截至今年初，逾320位參與計劃的病人到卓健求診。待醫管局公佈計劃擴展詳情後，卓健旗下所有普通科醫生亦會陸續加入，預料在今年年底，再增加25名醫生參與計劃，在13間卓健診所提供有關支援，可望惠及逾千名病人，並繼續推行「GOPC藥物處方優化計劃」，積極與不同藥業界人士磋商，為病人尋求更多可負擔的藥物選擇。」

As Hong Kong enters the seasonal influenza peak season, severe flu cases and deaths continue to rise. The Centre for Health Protection earlier predicted that the seasonal influenza peak season will last until April. Quality HealthCare Medical Services (Quality HealthCare) is highly concerned about the outbreak and encourages more people to receive vaccinations to reduce the threat to the wider community. Quality HealthCare will provide 5,000 free quadrivalent influenza vaccines&nbsp;to qualified citizens, at seven of our designated clinics from today onwards.&nbsp;Other than the elderly and children, studies have shown those aged 50 or above are also at a higher risk of influenza. This being the case, Quality HealthCare has decided to provide for those citizens aged between 50 and 64 and without clinical contraindications, free influenza vaccines. The goal is to combat seasonal influenza with the community to develop citizens' immunity and enhance the overall vaccination rate in order to ease the spread of the epidemic, reduce infection numbers in the community and ease pressure on the public healthcare system.&nbsp;From today onwards, qualified citizens will only need to present their identity cards, at one of seven Quality HealthCare clinics to receive a free vaccination*. Elderly citizens aged 65 years old or above can continue to enjoy free flu shots under the government's vaccination subsidy scheme at a​​ll Quality HealthCare clinics.&nbsp;During the Easter holidays, 15 Quality HealthCare clinics will continue to provide medical care to patients.
