Manulife Hong Kong Partners with Hong Kong Baptist Hospital to Launch Outpatient Cashless Service for Cancer Day Treatment

HONG KONG, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Manulife Hong Kong today announced an expansion of its partnership with Hong Kong Baptist Hospital (HKBH) through the launch of an outpatient cashless service^[1] for cancer day treatment at both HKBH and its East Kowloon Medical Centre (EKMC). This initiative aims to provide greater financial convenience during treatment, while reinforcing Manulife's commitment to providing holistic health solutions and enhancing access to quality care for its customers.

In response to growing demand for accessible treatment options, the outpatient cashless service enables eligible customers^[2] to receive cancer day treatment without upfront payment, streamlining the claims process and reducing financial stress during a critical time. In addition, the partnership introduces a suite of value-added services at HKBH's medical centres for eligible customers^[3], including vaccinations and health check-ups. These offerings are designed to make preventive care more accessible and convenient, empowering individuals to take proactive steps in managing their health and well-being. These enhancements build on Manulife's existing collaboration with HKBH, which already provides access to second medical opinions from oncologists^[4]. Together, these offerings underscore Manulife's commitment to making quality healthcare more accessible and supporting customers throughout their health journeys.

"We believe true well-being goes beyond physical health as it encompasses financial security and emotional wellness. Our collaboration with Hong Kong Baptist Hospital underscores our unwavering commitment to promoting holistic well-being, giving our customers peace of mind and support across different stages of their health journey," said Danny Lee, Chief Health Officer at Manulife Hong Kong and Macau. "By providing an outpatient cashless service for cancer day treatment, we are enhancing access to quality care while reducing patients' upfront cost – empowering them to focus fully on their treatment and recovery. We are delighted to take this step forward in delivering more integrated care solutions – and we remain steadfast to help our customers live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives." 

Grace Wong, Director of Administration and Planning, Hong Kong Baptist Hospital said: "We are honored to strengthen our collaboration with Manulife Hong Kong through this outpatient cashless service for cancer day treatment, available at both Hong Kong Baptist Hospital and our new HKBH East Kowloon Medical Centre (EKMC) located in Ngau Tau Kok. This initiative embodies our founding mission - 'In the Service of Man, for the Glory of God' - and enables patients to focus fully on their treatment and recovery. As a medical institution committed to whole-person care, we believe that true healing encompasses both clinical excellence and compassionate support. Through this enhanced partnership, we continue our dedication to serving the community with accessible, quality healthcare that honors both our patients' needs and our service missions."

 [High-resolution promotional photo download: Here]

HONG KONG, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Wong To Yick, the iconic Hong Kong medicated balm brand trusted for over half a century, proudly unveils its newly upgraded official website, marking a significant milestone in the brand's global expansion journey. As the second major initiative under its brand upgrading programme, the new digital platform follows the earlier announcement of Cantopop diva Joey Yung as the brand's first-ever ambassador, a powerful "No.1 × No.1" partnership.

The revitalised website extends Wong To Yick's brand values to a global audience through a modernised interface, a refined tri-lingual structure (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English), and a redesigned Authenticity Verification page. Together, these enhancements strengthen consumer trust and reinforce Wong To Yick's position as Hong Kong's No.1 Muscle Pain Reliever¹ and No.1 Medicated Oil Segment² leader, now on track to secure its fourth consecutive No.1 year.

Elevated Authenticity Verification Experience

The new website features a sophisticated, pared-back interface designed for clarity and intuitive navigation across markets. Presented in three fully localised languages, the platform delivers a seamless brand experience for users in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and international regions.

A centrepiece of this upgrade is the completely redesigned Authenticity Verification section. The page now adopts a clean, structured layout with step-by-step guidance that educates users on identifying key packaging features, empowering global consumers to distinguish genuine products with confidence. This elevated transparency reflects Wong To Yick's long-standing commitment to consumer protection and reinforces the brand's integrity in an increasingly complex market environment.

The Usage Guide has likewise been extensively enhanced, featuring visual demonstrations and videos that clearly illustrate correct application techniques across various muscle groups, as well as instructions on pairing the product with heat therapy to amplify relief. These improvements deepen consumer understanding and highlight the brand's dedication to professional education and safe, effective product use.

Connecting with the Next Generation of Global Consumers

Beyond a visual and structural redesign, the upgraded website represents a strategic leap in Wong To Yick's globalisation efforts. The platform's modern design, coupled with easily digestible multi-market content, strengthens the brand's communication with consumers worldwide and brings the craftsmanship of "Made in Hong Kong" to a broader stage.

Aligned with the brand's transformation strategy, the collaboration with Joey Yung further accelerates Wong To Yick's evolution. Her professionalism, resilience, and cultural influence mirror the brand's heritage and spirit. Together, Joey's ambassador role and the revitalised digital platform serve as dual engines of brand elevation—enhancing visibility, broadening global relevance, and fortifying Wong To Yick's premium position in the wellness category.

Looking ahead, Wong To Yick will continue to build on its legacy through innovation, authoritative product education, and a unified global brand voice. With its renewed digital presence and strategic initiatives, the brand is well-positioned to strengthen its No.1 leadership and bring Hong Kong's exceptional craftsmanship to an expanding international audience.
