HONG KONG SAR -
Media OutReach Newswire
- 23 June 2026 - Sow Fertility, a Hong Kong-based fertility and
family-building benefits platform, congratulates its Medical Advisor,
Professor Liona Poon, on being named one of
JESSICA's Most Successful Women 2026, an annual recognition celebrating women across Hong Kong and Asia whose leadership is reshaping their industries.
Prof. Poon is a Professor (Clinical) at The Chinese University of Hong
Kong's Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and President-Elect of
the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
(ISUOG). She is internationally recognised for co-leading the landmark
ASPRE trial, which demonstrated that low-dose aspirin, started early in
pregnancy for high-risk women, could reduce preterm preeclampsia by 62%.
The findings have since been translated into first-trimester
screen-and-prevent protocols now adopted across Hong Kong's public
hospitals, extending earlier risk detection and more personalised
maternity care to thousands of women each year. In 2024, she founded
PregnaSense Co. Limited to advance the clinical application of
predictive biomarker research and in 2025, she joined Sow Fertility as
their Medical Advisor. In 2026, Prof. Liona Poon received the Croucher
Senior Medical Research Fellowship to further her work on multi-omic
approaches to pregnancy complications. Her full profile is available on
JESSICA's Most Successful Women platform.
"It's a privilege to work alongside such a forward-thinking group
dedicated to making fertility, maternity and postnatal care more
accessible and evidence-based," said
Prof. Liona Poon, Medical Advisor at Sow Fertility. "I'm grateful to contribute and to learn together as we continue advancing women's health."
Empowering Workplaces Through Evidence-Based Care
As Medical Advisor to Sow Fertility, Prof. Poon brings clinical depth
and research rigour to the company's mission of transforming
reproductive health and family-building support in Asia. Sow Fertility
partners with corporates and insurers to offer comprehensive and
flexible fertility benefit solutions, providing personalised support
that helps employees navigate fertility and family-building challenges —
fostering a healthier, more productive workforce and a thriving

"We are grateful to have Prof. Poon's expertise in our work with
corporate partners, as we build more fertility- and
family-building-friendly workplaces across Hong Kong and Asia," said
Dawn Chan, Founder & CEO of Sow Fertility.
