HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 5 October 2020 - Women of today have many wishes, they may want to build a thriving career, pursue their dreams, and have a joyful family life all at the same time. It is thus very important for women to take good care of their health. Yet according to the "AXA Wellness Index" 2020[1], while 94% of the female respondents claimed that they are concerned about their health, only around half of them (56%) have done body check-ups in the past two years, showing that women may neglect their health as they are too busy with handling the different roles in life.

By partnering with a group of high-quality network service providers, the plan lets our customers have access to a full suite of value-added services, including the first-in-market offer of cosmetic treatments, refractive surgery and fertility solution, as well as maternity care.
