Surgery

We wish to formally inform you that Hong Kong Reproductive Health Centre Limited (“HKRHC”), the parent company of Gratia Medical Centre (“GMC”), will cease operations as part of a corporate restructuring of our group. Consequently, our services will relocate to a new premises at 34/F, Tower 1, New World Tower, 16-18 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong, effective from 11th July 2026.

Further, from July 2026 onwards, GMC will be owned and operated by Hong Kong Assisted Reproduction Centre Limited (“HKARC”). HKARC is a licensed day procedure centre and reproductive technology treatment centre within the same corporate group as HKRHC. It provides a full range of clinic services, as well as comprehensive fertility treatments alongside egg/sperm freezing services.

Please be assured that we will continue to serve you under the familiar brand name of GMC at our new location and that this transition will not affect the high level of medical care and quality of service you receive from us.  

Transfer of Medical Records

To ensure continuity of care, the medical records of all patients currently held by HKRHC, including yours, will be transferred to the custody of HKARC. This arrangement ensures your medical history remains properly preserved and accessible for your ongoing care, strictly in accordance with the Code of Professional Conduct for the Guidance of Registered Medical Practitioners (October 2022) (the “Code”).

Your Consent

We hereby seek your formal consent for the transfer of your medical records to HKARC.

In accordance with the Code, the doctors at GMC (operated by HKARC) will formally acknowledge this transfer upon your next visit or enquiry. They will seek your confirmation to assume your care and custody of the medical records. Please note that they will not access your historical records without your consent unless it is deemed necessary for your immediate best interest.

If you do not agree to the transfer, please note that declining the transfer would also mean we will be unable to provide further medical services to you. If you choose not to transfer your records to HKARC, you may request a copy of your medical records for your own keeping, subject to the payment of our standard administration fee. To comply with the retention guidelines of the Hong Kong Medical Council and Department of Health, your original records will not be destroyed immediately; instead, they will be transferred to secure “dead storage” for the prescribed minimum retention period, after which they will be securely destroyed.

Data Privacy

Your privacy is protected under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Chapter 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong). All records will be handled securely during the transfer and relocation. Strict access controls will be put in place to ensure data security before, during, and after the transfer.

Hong Kong Reproductive Health Centre Limited
