Cardiology

The Chau Hoi Shuen Foundation in collaboration with the HKSH Cardiology Centre, launched the Women’s Heart Health Subsidy Scheme with a donation of HK$5 million from the Foundation in 2023. The funding has been used to subsidise women patients needing cardiac examinations and, if necessary, coronary stenting procedures. 

Women in need can apply for the subsidy through a doctor’s referral. The applications will be assessed and approved by the medical team of the Cardiology Centre based on the patient’s condition, financial status and anticipated improvements in their quality of life after the operation. 

In support of the Scheme, eligible patients are offered concessionary rates for hospital charges and consultation fees from the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital and by participating doctors. The Foundation provides subsidies for two pre-operative consultations, one post-operative consultation and specific examinations prior to the operation, while patients are responsible for covering the charges of the oral medications prescribed by the Cardiology Centre. For coronary stenting procedures, patients are required to pay HK$40,000. Patients must also cover charges for meals and prescribed oral medication during hospitalisation. The Foundation will subsidise the remaining hospitalisation expenses.
