Comprehensive care for women’s health with an entire female medical team at the helm

Commemorating International Women’s Day on 8 March, AXA Hong Kong and Macau (“AXA”) and Chiron Medical Group (“Chiron Medical”) jointly announced the grand opening of the “AXA Women’s Health Centre” (The Centre). It marks the first collaboration of its kind between an insurance company and a medical service group in Hong Kong. The Centre is designed to meet women’s unique needs, providing comfortable and attentive one-stop health management services, covering examination, diagnosis, treatment, and health management.

Women in Hong Kong play important roles in society, the workplace, and at home. Amidst balancing their responsibilities and striving for excellence, they tend to overlook their health by skipping routine check-ups and failing to respond to concerning symptoms in their bodies. Government statistics indicate a rising trend in newly diagnosed cancer cases among women, surpassing men for the first time in 2020[1]. This highlights the urgent need for society to address women's health challenges, calling for collaborative efforts to raise women’s awareness about preventative healthcare, regular check-ups, and the value of healthy living.

To promote early diagnosis and timely treatment for women, AXA has partnered with FemWell, a female health brand owned by Chiron Medical, to launch the "AXA Women’s Health Centre" in the bustling heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. This cutting-edge facility provides a full range of women’s health services, including general practice, obstetrics and gynaecology, clinical oncology, general surgery, and consultations with clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, and chiropractors, all overseen by a female medical team. A professional case manager will be assigned to follow up on individual needs, from organising appointments and examinations to administering treatment and rehabilitation care, assuring continuous assistance throughout the process.

The "AXA Women’s Health Centre" breaks away from traditional clinic styles and places a strong emphasis on being "thoughtful, friendly and reliable". The Centre’s inviting and soothing interior creates a comfortable and reassuring environment for visitors, reducing their nervousness or anxiety during medical visits. The dedicated changing rooms, exclusive waiting areas, consulting rooms and imaging screening rooms ensure high privacy and comfort during the examination and consultation procedures.

Chief Employee Benefits and Wellness Officer at AXA Hong Kong and Macau

"I am excited to the official launch of the ‘AXA Women’s Health Centre’ in partnership with FemWell, a female health brand under Chiron Medical, in celebration of today’s International Women’s Day. This initiative aims to raise awareness of women's health and provide more comfortable, high-quality services tailored to their unique needs. AXA has always remained our commitment to supporting women's health. Last year, we successfully introduced the innovative ‘Better She’ health management programme[2] in Hong Kong, specifically designed for women. This programme integrates gynaecological services and preventive treatment from both Traditional Chinese and Western medicines to improve women's physical and mental well-being, thereby reducing the risk of critical gynecological disease in the future. The opening of the Centre for today marks another significant milestone in our dedication to women's health. Leveraging the strengths of AXA and Chiron Medical, we provide comprehensive medical and holistic healthcare to women throughout their health journey, empowering them to prioritise early prevention, early detection, and early treatment."
