As Hainan accelerates its special customs operations, the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone has emerged as a hub for cross-border healthcare collaboration. A recent roundtable hosted at the site brought together experts from Singapore, Russia, and Spain to discuss breakthroughs in medical innovation and global health partnerships.
During the dialogue moderated by CGTN's Xing Ruinan, panelists highlighted Lecheng's unique position in facilitating international clinical trials and streamlined medical approvals. Singaporean representatives emphasized knowledge-sharing in biotech research, while Russian specialists discussed telemedicine applications for remote diagnostics. Spanish contributors outlined opportunities in Mediterranean-Asia medical tourism exchanges.
The discussions coincided with Lecheng's expansion of its "parallel import" program for overseas-approved pharmaceuticals, now serving over 10,000 international patients annually. Analysts note the zone's evolving role in testing innovative healthcare models under China's broader medical reform initiatives.
