Central Health Medical Practice

Central Health Medical Practice is a private multi-specialty clinic in the Central district of Hong Kong. Dr. Lucy Lord founded it in 1990. The facility now operates across three locations. What started as a dedicated obstetrics practice has grown into a full primary care provider.

Clinic Statistics and Recognitions

The clinic treats over 2,000 patients every week. Its medical and support team includes over 100 employees. Since opening, the obstetrics and gynecology team has delivered more than 12,000 babies. Central Health Medical Practice received recognition in the Expat Living Reader Choice Awards 2025.

Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and Women's Health

Dr. Lucy Lord leads the women's health department. She has over 40 years of experience. The clinic provides integrated maternity care through a coordinated team of obstetricians and midwives. Maternal services include:

• Lactation consulting for breastfeeding assessments and milk supply issues
• Antenatal classes and structured parent support programs
• High-detail pregnancy ultrasound scanning
• Postnatal care including cord care and baby weighing

Pediatric care includes routine check-ups and consultations with specialized pediatricians. The clinic also offers occupational therapy for children and adolescents. These services address motor, sensory, and developmental coordination challenges. Specialists use early intervention and coping strategies to help young patients.

Mental Health and Rehabilitation

The psychiatry and psychology department treats conditions from mild to severe. Mental health practitioners offer assessment, diagnosis, and medication on-site. The clinic runs the Mental Health Safety Net for extended-hours support. This service draws on over 50 psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists. Patients can typically access professional support within 24 to 72 hours.

For rehabilitation, the clinic provides non-surgical physiotherapy. Specialists treat sports injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, and pelvic floor dysfunction. The team uses several therapeutic approaches:

• Neuromuscular stimulation
• Clinical pilates and core strengthening
• Myofascial release and soft tissue massage
• Acupuncture and custom exercise plans

Adults can access psychotherapy through in-person sessions or a secure virtual platform. The clinic also provides specialized sleep treatment. This includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) – the recommended first-choice treatment for sleep disorders.

Diagnostic Technology

Central Health Medical Practice uses the Voluson™ Expert 22 ultrasound system by GE Healthcare. This technology provides high-detail imaging for pregnancy scanning. It allows specialists to monitor fetal development with precision. Other diagnostic needs are met through specialist-led consultations in ENT, plastic surgery, and general practice.

International Patient Services

The clinic employs internationally trained clinicians to support a diverse patient base. Consultations are available in English. Patients who cannot visit in person can book secure online Zoom consultations. Specialists also provide home visits when needed for local care continuity.
