Hong Kong, 24 September 2020 - 3 Hong Kong, the mobile arm of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (HTHKH; stock code: 215), today announced launch of the 3Care BowtieGo VDoctor telemedicine service with Bowtie Life Insurance Company Limited (Bowtie), Hong Kong's first virtual insurer. The service provides customers with a new and convenient medical consultation channel, enabling them to experience a new mode of medical service.

3 Hong Kong launched the 3Care protection platform (3Care) earlier to open up an all-round digital lifestyle. One of the initiatives was partnering with Bowtie to launch the exclusive 3Care BowtieGo Membership Plan, extending 3 Hong Kong's portfolio of digital lifestyle services to medical services.

3Care continues to explore digital lifestyle applications
Telemedicine has become increasingly popular mainly driven by the aging of the world's population and the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a research ^a, the global telemedicine market size is projected to increase from US$61.4 billion in 2019 to US$ 559.52 billion in 2027. A compound annual growth rate of 25.2% is forecasted. All this has underlined the huge potential of the telemedicine market.

HTHKH Executive Director and CEO Kenny Koo said: "5G's capability of live streaming high-definition videos has paved the way for numerous innovative video-related applications. Launch of the '3Care BowtieGo VDoctor' service has extended 3 Hong Kong's scope of digital lifestyle applications. Customers having mild symptoms can now seek medical advice on smart devices and receive medication without physically visiting a doctor. They can have more time to rest while enjoying great convenience as medical services going digital."

Bowtie's Co-founder and Co-CEO Fred Ngan said: "In addition to Bowtie's core product Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS), we are honoured to partner with 3 Hong Kong on the previous 3Care BowtieGo service to establish a safety net for Hongkongers. We launch the 3Care BowtieGo VDoctor service to reshape the journey through modern technology. You can get video consultation services with local doctors instantly on your smart device, experiencing the convenience of the new digital health services."

Waiver of 1^st online consultation fee and medication fee (delivered in two hours at the earliest)
Mobile users from all local operators are welcome to purchase the personal edition of the 3Care BowtieGo Vdoctor Annual Pass at HK$588. Users can make appointments via WhatsApp. They will receive related details and a link to virtually see a doctor at a designated time from Monday to Saturday of their choice. Receipts and/or medical certificates are available after an online consultation. Basic medication for two days will also be delivered straight to the user's door in two hours at the earliest. With those convenient and swift procedures, users can have more time for rest at home.

Bowtiego's designated partner for the telemedicine service is Union Medical Healthcare Limited.

First time users of the 3Care BowtieGo service will enjoy a waiver of consultation fee, basic medication for two days and free delivery (valued at HK$480). Consultation fees for the second and third consultations will be discounted at HK$150 while subsequent consultations will be charged the original fee of HK$380. The telemedicine service offered is more convenient and budget-friendly than conventional outpatient services.
