AXA’s qualified individual and group members will be able to enjoy preferential access to the AXA Designated Endoscopy and Day Surgery Centre. For example, should AXA customers’ health check-ups at an AXA Medical Centre reveal that further colorectal examinations and/or treatments are required, they will be referred on the spot to the AXA Designated Endoscopy and Day Surgery Centre for relevant endoscopic examination and/or surgery. In order to provide customers timely treatments, designated endoscopic surgeries will not require any pre-authorisation.

According to the Department of Health, colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers^[1] and ranked the second of all fatal cancers^[2] in Hong Kong. As colorectal cancer results from the abnormal growth of the cells of the colon or rectum, which may turn polyps into malignant tumors, regular screening can help detect early symptoms and reduce the risk of developing cancer. The AXA Designated Endoscopy and Day Surgery Centre will not only shorten customers’ waiting time, but also help them incur lower medical and post-surgical expenses than hospitals, greatly alleviating their financial burden.

The AXA Designated Endoscopy and Day Surgery Centre is equipped with a wide range of advanced endoscopy systems, including colonoscopy, oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (gastroscopy), cystoscopy and more. The Centre is managed by a team of full-time specialists in surgery and gastroenterology & hepatology, providing services from initial consultation and examination to surgery. It also offers one-stop post-operative care services and delivers a personalised healthcare experience beyond insurance to AXA customers.
