The founder of
CK Hutchison Holdings visited Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH) in Happy Valley on Tuesday to observe a demonstration of a cutting-edge, non-invasive device donated by the Li Ka Shing Foundation for treating liver cancer.
'[The hospital] providing this option is definitely great news,' Li said.
The 'Histotripsy 2.0' system was delivered to the hospital this month.
The 96-year-old tycoon, nicknamed 'Superman' for his business acumen and influence, appeared energetic and joyful, grinning while shaking hands with Walton Li Wai-tat, CEO of HKSH Medical Group and medical superintendent of the hospital.
