Why is it so expensive, but it is so popular

In the minds of mainlanders, public hospitals are more reliable and authoritative than private hospitals (or private hospitals).

However, in Hong Kong, on the contrary, the favorite hospital of Hong Kong's rich and celebrities is a private hospital.

For example, gambling king Stanley Ho, 10 years before his death, lived in the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, and Nina Gong, the richest woman, also lived in the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.

New World Group's Cheng Yu-tung (currently the third largest family wealth in Hong Kong), also chose to live in Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital a few years ago last year.

Li Jiaxin was 41 years old when she gave birth at that time, and she also chose to have a cesarean section at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital

Liu Luanxiong's current wife, Gambi, also chose the Sanatorium & Hospital to give birth.

Cecilia Cheung and Lin Qingxia gave birth to children, both in the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.

When gambling king Stanley Ho's fourth-room daughter-in-law Xi Mengyao gave birth to her first son, she also chose to be in this hospital, and it is said that she spent a total of 600,000 yuan.

Mainly because there are "three good and one high", that is, good service, good environment, good confidentiality, and high medical level.

Stanley Ho stayed in the **ward of the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, and the ** for one night was 230,000 yuan.

According to Hong Kong** statistics, Stanley Ho has spent a total of 1.3 billion in 11 years here.

In conclusion, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is the top private hospital in Hong Kong.

If it's so expensive, why do the rich and celebrities still rush to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital?

Expensive, there must be a reason for being expensive, otherwise, the rich are not fools, celebrities may follow the trend and lack the ability to think independently, but the rich, especially the super-rich, are not fools.

The super-rich must choose the best hospitals in Hong Kong.

In summary, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital has the following advantages:

The medical level is high--- and the medical skills are comparable to those of Xiehe in Beijing

Confidentiality is good--- there is no need to worry about privacy being prying eyes

Beautiful location --- decoration comparable to a 5 star hotel

The internal services are good--- there is someone to help you press the elevator

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is blessed with a variety of advantages:

1. Located in Happy Valley in Hong Kong, it is very close to Hong Kong's Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, The Peak and other wealthy areas.

Second, the medical level of the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, even compared with Beijing's, is on par.

3. Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is designed to be high-end.

Whether from the outside or from the inside, the hardware facilities are comparable to a five-star hotel, so that patients feel very comfortable living here.

Some of the superior rooms at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital have beautiful views of the outside and are decorated with floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views.

After Stanley Ho became seriously ill, he lived in the ** suite on the 37th floor of the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital all the year round.

This suite is also almost tailor-made for Hong Kong's top wealthy.

The room rate alone is as high as 230,000, the suite size is 186 square meters.

Note that this is only the room rate and does not include a fee, which needs to be calculated separately.

The senior ward where the gambling king stays is equipped with a senior nursing team of more than 7 people, and the team takes care of Stanley Ho's health 24 hours a day, and the related nursing medical equipment equipped in the nursing costs at least 20 million Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to 18.4 million yuan).

In the last few years of Stanley Ho's life, he lived here almost all the year round, and the annual room fee alone was as high as nearly 10 million.

Not only that, in order to facilitate the care of the family, the He family also wrapped another ** suite next to it, which can be used as a rest for the family.

When he was 66 years old, Liu Luanxiong also underwent kidney exchange surgery at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.

At that time, Liu Luanxiong had kidney failure, and at the same time had heart disease and diabetes, and his condition was very critical, and at the worst time, if he did not have surgery within 2 days, his life would be in danger.

However, Liu Luanxiong was very fortunate that he finally waited for the right kidney for him, and finally completed this difficult operation at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.

After the surgery, Liu Luanxiong's body recovered well.

And after he changed his kidney, he also made Gambi pregnant three times.

However, the price paid is not something that ordinary people can afford--- it is said that it cost 300 million before and after the kidney replacement!

In fact, Guo Jingjing gave birth to 3 children, all of whom were born in the Sanatorium & Hospital.

Huo Qigang once publicly expressed his gratitude to Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital.

Guo Jingjing and Huo Qigang are actually very down-to-earth, when several brothers of the Huo family had a lawsuit, they moved out of the mansion of the big family, from which it can be seen that they are not people who blindly pursue superficial scenery.

In addition to the high level of medical care, one of the most prominent advantages of Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is that it has very good security and confidentiality.

Celebrities are most afraid of reporters coming to the hospital to investigate, and the most important issue for rich people to consider is safety.

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital has done a great job on both fronts.

Because the security measures are extremely tight, it is difficult for reporters and some unrelated people to blend into the hospital.

So, who is the boss behind this private hospital, which is favored by Hong Kong's super-rich and top stars?

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital was founded in 1922 by Li Shufen.

In the beginning, it was small, with only 28 beds, and it was called a nursing home.

However, with about 500 beds and more than 30 specialist centres, the hospital is now the most prestigious private hospital for general practice in Hong Kong.

The entire hospital consists of two buildings:

A 38-storey building (green glass façade): called Lee Shu Pei Yuan

An 8-storey white building called Lee Shu Fen Courtyard

Li Shufen's grandfather was a wealthy businessman who once owned 10 ocean-going ships, but later Li Shufen's grandfather died in a shipwreck.

Li Shufen's father did not accept the shipping business and changed careers to the tea business.

Later, Li Shufen's father entered the foreign industry to work.

When Li Shufen was 12 years old, she followed her father to the United States.

Once, while admiring the window of a watch shop on the street, a mischievous child struck his scalp with a stone, and immediately bled profusely and the wound was quite deep: several inches long, so he was sent to the hospital for sterilization and stitching.

Later, after the wound healed, there was almost no scar left, and it felt as smooth as before, this time, Li Shufen was deeply interested in the magic of Western medicine, and aspired to become a skilled doctor.

In the United States, he studied English very seriously during the day and studied Chinese with his father at night.

After staying in the United States for 4 years, when he was 16 years old, his father returned to China due to retirement, and Li Shufen also returned to China together.

After getting married, Li Shufen came to Hong Kong again with her father and was admitted to the Hong Kong Western Medical School.

Li Shufen studied diligently at the Hong Kong Western Medicine Hall for 5 years.

In 1908, he graduated magna laude with a bachelor's degree in Physicians and Surgeons.

After graduating, a close friend strongly advocated that he continue his studies in medicine and subsidize his study abroad.

As a result, Li Shufen was able to go to the University of Edinburgh Medical Department in the United Kingdom to continue her studies.

The professors of the university are all internationally renowned medical scholars, who are rigorous in their studies and have high requirements for students.

When Li Shufen was registered, the school authorities believed that the standard of medical graduates in Hong Kong was generally not high, and they expressed doubts about Li Shufen's ability to complete his studies.

After two years of hard study, Li Shufen finally passed the examination and graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1910 with a bachelor's degree in medicine and surgery.

At the commencement ceremony, the Vice-Chancellor mentioned that in the history of the University of Edinburgh, Li Shufen was the first student to receive this title in the shortest possible time.

After graduating, Li Shufen received a free degree from the Qing Dynasty, so she continued to study at the University of Edinburgh for another year, and obtained a bachelor's degree in tropical diseases and hygiene.

In 1911, Li Shufen returned to China after completing his studies.

* In the early years, Li Shufen was appointed as the first health secretary of China** in Guangzhou.

Later, he was appointed dean of the Guangdong Public Medical College and concurrently served as a medical officer in the Generalissimo Sun Yat-sen's office.

In 1922, he went to the Constitutional College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, England, where he obtained a doctorate in surgery.

When Mr. Sun Yat-sen was diagnosed with cancer at a late stage, Li Shufen was also active for him.

Although she holds a well-known administrative position, Li Shufen prefers to practice medicine rather than officialdom.

Coupled with the chaotic political situation at the time, the various measures he formulated could not be implemented.

So, Li Shufen chose to resign and returned to Hong Kong, determined to practice medicine wholeheartedly.

In 1925, at the suggestion of several seniors, he took over the dilapidated Xiangjiang Sanatorium.

When Li Shufen took over the hospital, the building was already dilapidated, and all kinds of medical equipment inside were damaged.

Li Shufen had no choice but to start from scratch:

He renovated the hospital and built additional buildings

Advanced medical equipment has also been purchased and operating theatres have been expanded

At the same time, the introduction of a skilled medical team.

In addition, he attaches great importance to the training of young doctors, so the hospital has won a lot of good reputation.

In 1928, Li Shufen's younger brother Li Shupei also graduated from medical school and became a doctor, and he also joined the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital to help his brother manage the affairs of the hospital.

When the Japanese occupied Hong Kong, the two brothers Li Shufen had no choice but to flee Hong Kong in order not to cooperate with the Japanese army.

However, after the victory of the war, the Li Shufen brothers returned to Hong Kong and continued to run the hospital.

With the joint efforts of Li Shufen and her younger brother, the development of Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is getting better and better.

It not only attracts many skilled doctors, but also has the world's top medical technology and equipment.

The two brothers worked together and within 10 years, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital became one of the top hospitals in Hong Kong.

Li Shufen died in 1966 at the age of 79.

At that time, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital was already one of the largest private hospitals in Asia.

After Li Shufen's death, his younger brother Li Shupei took full control of the hospital.

Li Shupei, like his brother, has superb medical skills and noble medical ethics.

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital is the best in Hong Kong in terms of both hardware facilities and medical standards.

And in terms of environment, it is more intimate and comfortable than ordinary hospitals.

Although it is expensive, many rich people and celebrities are not short of money, and they regard the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital as their first choice.

When SARS broke out in 2003, Li Shupei was already 100 years old at the time, but he still went to work in the hospital in person, commanding medical staff to fight SARS, and was very dedicated.

Countless people have been moved.

Two years later, Li Shupei died in Hong Kong at the age of 102.

After his death, the hospital was passed on to his two sons.

Therefore, as a private hospital, Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital belongs to the private property of the Li Shu Fan family.

But in the minds of Hong Kong people, it is synonymous with the top hospitals in Hong Kong.

At present, the market valuation of nursing and hospital is at least 50 billion.

Therefore, although Li Shufen's descendants did not appear on the Hong Kong rich list, this family is actually a ** super-rich.

In this outbreak, public hospitals alone have not been able to meet the needs of citizens.

On March 8, Hong Kong** actively called on private hospitals to fight the epidemic together.

Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital also responded positively, saying that more than 20 patients have been referred to the hospital so far, and it expects to receive more other types of patients this week and in the coming weeks, which can be regarded as relieving the pressure on public hospitals and allowing them to focus on fighting the epidemic.

Despite its reputation as one of Hong Kong's top hospitals, the family behind it is extremely low-key, focusing on improving medical standards and medical services.

This is in stark contrast to the domestic Putian system, which mainly relies on marketing to attract passenger flow, but the reputation of the Putian system is relatively poor.

A family that has been focusing on the care of a hospital for hundreds of years actually has to endure loneliness.

Don't forget the original intention, you have to always", this sentence is very appropriate to describe the Li Shufen family.

Li Shufen's original intention when she took over the hospital was to apply the advanced medical knowledge she had learned from the UK to patients.

His family has always adhered to this original intention, and of course, the money has been earned.
