The Union Hospital and Dragonair Holidays have jointly launched health check-plus-sightseeing packages for the first time to attract medical tourists from 10 mainland cities.
The four- or five-day packages cost between 6,760 and 11,860 yuan and include air tickets, hotel accommodation, health checks and a half-day sightseeing tour.
Two health-check plans are offered. Plan A is a four-day package and includes basic tests such as a complete blood count, lipid screening, liver function and kidney function tests, chest X-ray and electrocardiogram.
Plan B for a five-day package has additional tests such as hepatitis B screening, body mass index analysis, pap smear and mammogram for women, and prostate test for men.
The health check would take up one morning on the second day of their visit. Doctors would brief the tourists about their test results on the last morning before they fly home.
Tourists have to enrol at least two weeks before the health checks. They will also have to fill out a questionnaire before the trip so that the hospital can advise them if any additional tests are needed.
