HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 5 October 2020 - Women of today have many wishes, they may want to build a thriving career, pursue their dreams, and have a joyful family life all at the same time. It is thus very important for women to take good care of their health. Yet according to the "AXA Wellness Index" 2020^[1], while 94% of the female respondents claimed that they are concerned about their health, only around half of them (56%) have done body check-ups in the past two years, showing that women may neglect their health as they are too busy with handling the different roles in life.

By partnering with a group of high-quality network service providers, the plan lets our customers have access to a full suite of value-added services, including the first-in-market offer of cosmetic treatments, refractive surgery and fertility solution, as well as maternity care.

We are always striving to be the best versions of ourselves as we go through life, from adolescent to adulthood to menopause. At each stage, women have different needs, such as gynaecological issues, beauty concerns, fertility worries and mental health needs. Given this, the AXA health team spent time listening to women sharing their experiences about what truly matters. We observed how women lead their lives in real life. We consulted obstetricians and gynaecologists. The result is the 'Pink Medical Insurance Plan'.
