HKBN further expands footprint in medical services
HONG KONG, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited ("HKBN") has partnered with renowned at-home health test brand, INDICAID, to provide HKBN customers with an innovative healthcare subscription service featuring a variety of at-home tests for diseases detection and health management. This service further enhances HKBN's Infinite-play strategy in healthcare, catering to the comprehensive lifestyle needs of customers.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, at home tests have been essential for households. As Hong Kong's first-ever "Monthly Select At-Home Testing Package", HKBN partners with INDICAID, a PHASE Scientific at-home health test brand, offering self-testing kits for respiratory health, gastrointestinal health, urogenital health, reproductive health, and cancer risk assessment. On a monthly basis, HKBN customers will enjoy any two of seven designated at-home test kits from INDICAID (valued between $80 and $720 for two sets), and have them delivered free of charge* for convenient at-home testing. Monthly fees start at just $48 (on a 12-month contract). For an additional $20 per month, customers will get a cancer screening self-test package (total valued over $1,300) during the contract period, which includes 3 tests for cancer risk factors or early indicators, HPV, Helicobacter pylori, and fecal occult blood, respectively. These tests support early detection of cervical, stomach, and colorectal cancer risks, designed to protect the health of individuals and families.
Ricky Chiu, Chairman and CEO of Phase Scientific, said, "As public healthcare is increasingly burdened and the general public becomes more aware of the importance of self-health management, at-home testing has rapidly gained acceptance. As a leading scientific brand in Hong Kong with patented core technology, INDICAID offers a wide range of convenient and accurate at-home tests, making health protection easier for everyone. By partnering with HKBN, which boasts a solid customer base, we are well-positioned to bring our innovative health management approach to more households."

This collaboration with INDICAID marks another breakthrough in our infinite-play choices, as we continue to provide our residential customers—covering nearly one million Hong Kong households—with a diverse array of affordable and highly beneficial healthcare services. These services cater to the comprehensive lifestyle needs of our customers, paving the way for a modern health management model."
