CUHK Medical Centre

What CUHK Medical Centre does

CUHK Medical Centre (CUHKMC) is a non-profit private teaching hospital established in 2021 by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, headquartered at 9 Chak Cheung Street, Sha Tin, New Territories. It operates as a comprehensive acute care platform spanning more than 30 clinical specialties — including cardiology, clinical oncology, neurology, orthopaedics, gynaecology, ophthalmology, paediatrics, and urology — delivered through a main hospital, a 24-hour Emergency Medicine Centre, and a suite of specialty centres (Robotic Surgery, Endoscopy, Cardiology, Oncology, Radiotherapy, Imaging & Interventional Radiology, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation, Wellness, Clinical Neuroscience, Integrative Medicine, and Paediatrics). It serves individual patients, public hospital referrals, insured patients, corporate clients, and the CUHK community. Distribution is anchored by three wholly-owned community clinics — CUHK Medical Clinic in Tsim Sha Tsui, Sai Sha (opened June 2026), and Shek Mun (CUHK Medical Clinic@Kitchee) — alongside a mobile patient app available on iOS and Android.

CUHKMC's revenue model is a hybrid of direct-to-consumer healthcare services and institutional partnership channels. Core revenue is generated from inpatient care, outpatient consultations, emergency services, diagnostic and surgical procedures priced through publicly published medical packages, clinical service fees, and room charges. A distinctive feature is its phased price transparency initiative (Phase II in December 2025 covering orthopaedics, breast surgery, gynaecology, chemotherapy and chronic medications; Phase III in February 2026 streamlining 24-hour outpatient/emergency charging), unusual in Hong Kong's otherwise opaque private hospital market. Revenue is augmented by direct billing arrangements with insurance partners (notably CTF Life as a designated network hospital from October 2025), exclusive referral partnerships with Standard Chartered (priority private banking clients, January 2026) and China Life Insurance Overseas (high-end prevention-to-treatment services, June 2026), and subsidy schemes — including the Robotic Surgery Subsidy Scheme, Breast Cancer Surgery Subsidy, Urinary Stone Surgery Subsidy (Li Ka Shing Foundation-funded), and PCI Scheme — that channel public hospital patients at reduced rates.

Technology infrastructure centres on a Robotic Surgery Centre featuring a newly introduced Hong Kong-developed robotic surgical system (June 2026), advanced imaging and interventional radiology, and a patient-facing mobile application. GTM is direct-to-consumer: online booking, walk-in consultations, direct admissions, plus institution-driven referral flows. The centre differentiates through CUHK academic affiliation, professor-practitioner clinical model, published price transparency, and subsidy-driven accessibility programmes.
