*[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]
/*
*Union Medical Healthcare and Tencent Doctorwork *
*Jointly Open Primary Care Clinics*
(15 November 2018, Hong Kong) *Union Medical Healthcare Limited* ("Union
Medical Healthcare" or the "Company", which together with its subsidiaries,
is referred to as the "Group", SEHK stock code: 2138), a leading integrated
medical group in Hong Kong, is pleased to announce that two primary care
clinics, which are jointly established by the Group and Tencent Doctorwork,
have commenced operation, offering general medical and healthcare services.
Located in Tuen Mun and Ngau Tau Kok respectively, the two clinics together
occupy a total area of approximately 2,000 square metres.
In August 2018, Tencent Doctorwork merged with Trusted Doctors, a
Shanghai-based online platform launched in 2014 with a network of over
430,000 registered doctors in mainland China. The platform operates clinics
and surgery centres in the country.
*Mr. Eddy Tang, Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of
Union Medical Healthcare* said, "Medical services and standards are trusted
by the mainland Chinese due to its stringent mechanism for regulating the
industry and the professional integrity of the healthcare providers. The
recent operation of the Hong Kong link of the high-speed and the Hong
Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge have made commutation between the PRC and Hong Kong
more convenient, realising the 'one-hour daily commute zone' in the Greater
Bay Area. The public healthcare system has been overloaded driving immense
demand for quality private primary and healthcare services. The cooperation
with Tencent Doctorwork allows us to transform the healthcare industry by
adopting systematic management and artificial intelligence in primary care
services. Leveraging the Group's professional medical team and outstanding
services as well as the ample resources of Tencent Doctorwork's online
platform, the Group will continue to enhance the connection of online and
offline medical services in Hong Kong and the mainland so as to meet the
huge demand in the Greater Bay Area and even in the rest of China."
