World Menopause Day

Introducing our New Doctors 

Dr Nikki Lee

*Obstetrics and Gynaecology from December 2025

LMCHK, MBBS, MRCOG (UK), FHKCOG, FHKAM (O&G)

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Nikki Lee to Central Health. Nikki brings with her the rare advantage of having trained and practised in both London and Hong Kong, combining the strengths of two world-class medical systems. She completed her medical degree at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and started specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology in several of London’s leading hospitals, before moving back to Hong Kong and completing training at the Prince of Wales Hospital.

Nikki’s approach to medicine is holistic, warm, and deeply centred on the wellbeing of women at every stage of life but especially  maternal health during pregnancy. She enjoys supporting women and ensuring best outcomes for both mother and baby through thoughtful lifestyle measures alongside clinical care. She has experience in high-risk pregnancy care, paediatric and adolescent gynaecology, pelvic and sexual pain disorders, and post-menopausal health.

Alongside her clinical practice, Nikki has contributed to medical education and research, reflecting her commitment to advancing women’s health. Fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, she is able to support women from diverse cultural backgrounds with sensitivity and understanding.

Outside medicine, Nikki is a mother of two who loves exercise, travel, and good food. She also enjoys spending time on the water, taking peaceful boating trips around Hong Kong’s islands.

Dr. Lee will be working full time with Central Health in Central, Hong Kong, and will be delivering babies and performing surgery at Matilda International Hospital.

Dr Alan Ka Ho Cheng

Specialist in Psychiatry
MBChB (CUHK), FHKCPsych, FHKAM (Psychiatry)
 We are delighted to welcome Dr. Alan Cheng to Central Health’s adult and child mental health team. Alan brings not only extensive international training and experience from Canada and Hong Kong, but also a reputation for warmth, compassion, and a deeply patient-centred approach to care.

After completing undergraduate and master’s degrees in biomedical sciences in Canada, Alan returned to Hong Kong, where he has spent over a decade working across the full spectrum of psychiatry. His experience spans both adult and child services, and he has held senior positions in one of the busiest and most demanding departments of the Hospital Authority. Alongside his clinical practice, Alan has been dedicated to mentoring trainees and supporting colleagues, reflecting his commitment to nurturing the next generation of psychiatrists.

Alan has particular expertise in child and adolescent psychiatry, psychiatric evaluations, and the management of complex mental health conditions. He believes in tailoring care to each individual, using both medical and non-medical approaches, and places great importance on continuity—working closely with patients and their families to provide support, reduce stigma, and build resilience.

Outside of work, Alan is a keen musician, playing the flute with several orchestras, and enjoys spending time with his family and exploring new restaurants.

World Menopause Day

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but for many women it brings challenging symptoms such as hot flushes, disrupted sleep, low mood, and loss of confidence. In Hong Kong, the hot and humid climate can make symptoms feel even more intense, while in London long waiting times can delay treatment. At Central Health, we believe all women deserve timely, compassionate and evidence based support.

To mark World Menopause Day, our London and Hong Kong teams have come together to share 20 top tips for navigating menopause.

These are divided into four practical areas:
• How to help yourself with lifestyle changes such as sleep routines, exercise, and nutrition.
• How your doctor can help with safe and effective treatments including HRT, vaginal estrogen, testosterone, and the new medication fezolinetant.
• Natural remedies including mindfulness, yoga, and plant estrogens.
• Five things your husband can do to provide support, understanding, and empathy.

Whether you are in Marylebone or Central, our clinicians are here to help you manage your menopause with confidence.
