UMP Healthcare Holdings
POSITION:
Chair & CEO

Hong Kong
Back in 1990, when Sun Yiu Kwong co-founded UMP Healthcare Holdings, his goal was undeniably ambitious: “To give everyone access to trusted and affordable health care.” Now, three decades on, Chair and CEO Yiu Kwong is making it his mission to extend the reach of the company he believes can achieve so much good.
“We’re trying to create a virtuous cycle and provide value for the whole society,” he tells The CEO Magazine. “We’re hoping to make this network a trusted one in the community that can help to develop supplemental medical insurance so that doctors have better incomes and more confidence because, currently, there’s not enough incentive for new, young doctors to join. We believe that if we create value for society then, ultimately, we’ll have value for ourselves as well.”
With more than 50 years’ experience in the medical sector, Yiu Kwong has garnered invaluable knowledge across a wide variety of disciplines. He began working in the emergency department then switched to internal medicine in the intensive care unit, which was followed by time spent in obstetrics, gynaecology and general surgery before moving into private practice in 1971. He describes it as a very rewarding part of his career.
