HKBH, with over 60 years of service, is a reputable and experienced private hospital. EKMC, HKBH\u2019s fully-owned comprehensive ambulatory medical centre, is located at 8 Yan Yip Street, Kwun Tong. The 32-storey facility spans over 90,000 square feet, with a total investment of HK$1.8 billion, making it the only purpose-built private medical tower in East Kowloon. The region, which includes Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, and Kai Tak, has a population of nearly one million. However, it has long lacked large-scale private medical institutions, forcing residents to travel to other districts for private ambulatory services. EKMC is strategically located in the Kwun Tong business district (Ngau Tau Kok), just a 6-minute walk from the Ngau Tau Kok MTR station. The centre aims to fill the gap in medical services within the East Kowloon region, providing residents with a choice and access to high-quality healthcare close to home.<\/p>\n
