HKBN and Bowtie Collaborate to Launch an Exclusive Four-In-One Healthcare Service Plan

Enhancing the Healthcare Industry to Advance Public Well-being

HONG KONG, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited (HKBN) and Bowtie Life Insurance Company (Bowtie)^[1], Hong Kong's first virtual insurer, have teamed up to launch an exclusive Four-In-One Healthcare Service Plan. For a monthly fee of just $99, HKBN customers can now comprehensively safeguard their health with unlimited western medicine virtual consultations (with door-to-door medicine delivery included), an annual health check-up, an annual influenza vaccination, and twice-a-year dental cleaning service.

According to a survey conducted by the Census and Statistics Department, more than half of Hong Kong residents (about 3,500,000 people) lacked access to employer/company provided healthcare benefits^[2]. Whenever this group requires medical care, they often face lengthy wait times and relatively high costs for outpatient services. With this pain-point in mind, HKBN and Bowtie have introduced a new Four-In-One Healthcare Service Plan, allowing customers to enjoy comprehensive medical protection (with a value exceeding $3,500) at an incredible price. Package includes:

1.  Unlimited western medicine virtual consultations

2.  Health check-up

3.  Dental services

4.  Influenza vaccination

William Yeung, HKBN Co-Owner, Executive Vice-chairman & Group Chief Executive Officer said, "Ever since the pandemic, Hongkongers have significantly increased their awareness and demands on healthcare. This pioneering cross-industry collaboration with Bowtie innovatively delivers a full range of healthcare services, further expanding HKBN's Infinite-play strategy to include healthcare offerings. With the support of a strong network of diverse business partners, our goal is to cater to everyone's needs at home and provide customers with more choices of the most desirable and convenient services."

Fred Ngan, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Bowtie, shared, "We are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with HKBN to introduce a comprehensive Four-In-One Healthcare Service Plan that offers exceptional value for money. Leveraging HKBN's robust sales network, our aim is to provide customers with a wide range of healthcare services across various scenarios, while also emphasising the significance of Preventive Care."
