Rheumatology

The HKSH Rheumatology Centre provides diagnostic services and disease management for patients with different types of arthritis and autoimmune diseases. 

The treatments offered by our Centre cover various common rheumatic diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthropathies such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), osteoarthritis, lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, gout & other crystal arthritis, scleroderma, vasculitis, infectious arthritis, myositis / myalgia, fibromyalgia, and osteoporosis.

Our team comprises highly experienced doctors specialising in rheumatology, as well as an occupational therapist with expertise in managing symptoms of arthritis. We also have a strong support from a team of the experts in orthopaedic surgeons & allied-health professionals (physiotherapists, dietitians and podiatrist therapists). This multidisciplinary and professional approach allows us to enhance the standard of care we provide, reduce pain and improve mobility and patients’ quality of life. 

Our rheumatologists also conduct periodic public health talks and interviews in the mass media to enhance public awareness and knowledge of different rheumatic conditions.
