What Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital does

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH) is a privately held, multi-specialty tertiary hospital founded in 1922 by Dr. Li Shu Fan and Dr. Li Shu Pui and operated through HKSH Medical Group. The main hospital sits on Village Road in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, and is supported by a network of outpatient medical centres (HKSH Healthcare) in Admiralty, Central, North Point, and Taikoo, the HKSH Eastern Medical Centre, the HKSH Cancer Centre, and the HKSH Proton Therapy Centre. The hospital operates more than 30 specialties across 40+ named clinical centres and units, including Comprehensive Oncology, Cardiology, Cardiac Catheterization & Intervention, IVF, Clinical Genetics, Liver Surgery and Transplant, and the Lee Tak Hong Allergy Centre. It is accredited by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS), is a designated American Heart Association International Training Centre, and is a recognised Caring Company.

HKSH's core technology stack includes the only proton therapy system in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area (operational since 2023 and having treated over 500 patients), comprehensive diagnostic imaging, minimally invasive surgical capabilities, and an AI-assisted Acute Stroke Activation Programme (ASAP) that supports arterial thrombectomy beyond the standard 3-hour stroke window. Digital channels include a multilingual website (English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese), an HKSH mobile app, a WeChat mini-program for booking, telemedicine video consultations with medication delivery, and the HKSH Health EX health management programme. The group also runs the HKSH Institute for Innovation & Professional Development, the HKSH School of Nursing, a Clinical Trials Centre, and endowed professorships with the University of Hong Kong.

HKSH monetises through a fee-for-service model covering consultations, procedures, surgeries, diagnostic tests, and inpatient stays, supplemented by bundled service packages (e.g., maternity, radiology), tiered accommodation charges (suite, private, semi-private, general ward), and premium concierge services for international patients. Geographic reach spans Hong Kong residents, Mainland China and Macau patients, and a new cross-border medical concierge channel launched in November 2025 via partnership with iRad Hospital at Studio City Macau. The hospital is governed through a family-influenced structure anchored by the Li Shu Fan Medical Foundation, Li Shu Pui Medical Foundation, and Dr. Ellen Li Charitable Foundation, with no public listing or institutional equity holders identified.
