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."

The recently launched Manulife Longevity Institute underscores this commitment by creating a global platform to drive action that helps people live longer, healthier, and more financially secure lives by 2030 – in Asia and around the world.
