Boao International Hospital

Boao International Hospital: A Global Healthcare Benchmark in the Lvcheng Pilot Zone

I. Hospital Overview

Boao International Hospital is situated within the Boao Lvcheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (hereinafter referred to as the “Lvcheng Pilot Zone”)—China's only “medical special zone” approved by the State Council. As a comprehensive tertiary hospital, it integrates high-end medical services, international medical tourism, and health management. Leveraging the pilot zone's policy advantages (such as special medical permits, research exemptions, and operational franchises), the hospital integrates top-tier global medical resources. It is committed to providing “internationalized, precision-focused, and personalized” healthcare services to domestic and international patients, establishing the brand identity of “China's Boao, World-Class Healthcare.”

Spanning approximately 200 acres with over 150,000 square meters of floor space, the hospital offers more than 300 beds. It features core facilities including internationally standardized laminar flow operating rooms, an intensive care unit (ICU), and precision medicine laboratories. Its environment blends tropical coastal charm with modern medical aesthetics, earning it recognition from patients as a “medical resort.”

II. Technological Advantages: Policy-Empowered, Globally Cutting-Edge

Boao International Hospital's core competitiveness stems from the policy dividends of the Lecheng Pilot Zone and the deep integration of global medical resources, manifested in three key technological strengths:

1. Pioneer in Implementing Special Medical Policies: As one of Lecheng's first “special medical” pilot institutions, the hospital can directly introduce internationally innovative drugs and medical devices not yet available in China (such as targeted cancer drugs and high-end medical equipment), enabling domestic patients to access the latest global medical advancements simultaneously. By 2024, over 120 types of licensed drugs and devices had been introduced, covering oncology, rare diseases, regenerative medicine, and other fields.

2. Real-World Data (RWD) Application Center: The hospital collaborates with authoritative domestic and international institutions to build a “Real-World Research Platform.” By collecting and analyzing real-world clinical data, it accelerates the domestic approval and international promotion of innovative therapies. Over 20 RWD studies have been completed in areas like tumor immunotherapy and regenerative medical materials, advancing China's medical standards toward international alignment.

3. Comprehensive Precision Medicine Coverage: Leveraging technology platforms including gene sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and cell therapy, the hospital has established a full-cycle precision medicine system spanning “prevention-diagnosis-treatment-rehabilitation.” It has achieved internationally leading capabilities in early tumor screening, genetic disease diagnosis, and personalized medication guidance.

III. Leading Specialties: Focusing on Complex Cases with Distinctive Features

Adhering to a development strategy of “strengthening specialties while maintaining comprehensive capabilities,” the hospital prioritizes building the following six leading specialties to establish differentiated competitiveness:

• Precision Oncology Center: Collaborating with world-leading cancer institutions, including MD Anderson Cancer Center (USA) and Cancer Institute Hospital (Japan), it offers multidisciplinary tumor consultations (MDT), CAR-T cell therapy, proton/heavy ion radiotherapy (in partnership with Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Hospital), and targeted drug clinical trials. It specializes in the precision diagnosis and treatment of common cancers such as lung, breast, and colorectal cancers.

• Regenerative Medicine and Anti-Aging Center: Among China's first institutions approved for stem cell clinical research, it offers mesenchymal stem cell therapies (e.g., for osteoarthritis, spinal cord injury), adipose-derived stem cell facial rejuvenation, and immune cell banking. It maintains deep collaborative partnerships with Mayo Clinic (USA) and Seoul National University Hospital (South Korea) in regenerative medicine R&D.

• Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Center: Equipped with world-leading DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography) systems and hybrid operating rooms, it performs complex coronary interventions, cerebral aneurysm embolization, and structural heart procedures (e.g., atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation). It maintains a remote consultation platform jointly established with the Heart Center Hamburg, Germany.

• International Reproductive Medicine Center: JCI-accredited, offering IVF, PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing), and combined hysteroscopic/laparoscopic fertility assistance. Success rates consistently exceed 65% (above the national average), supporting cross-border fertility needs for patients from multiple countries.

• Premium Health Screening & Management: Offers “1+X” customized screening packages (core tests + genetic screening, cancer early detection, etc.), integrated with AI-powered health management systems. Provides end-to-end services from risk assessment to intervention plans, serving clients including multinational executives and international dignitaries.

Departments are interconnected through an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system and remote consultation platform, enabling real-time collaboration and delivering “one-stop” diagnostic and treatment services.

V. Medical Equipment: International Brands, Cutting-Edge Configuration

The hospital has introduced world-leading medical equipment to support precision diagnostics and cutting-edge technology implementation:

• Surgical Robots: Da Vinci Xi Surgical System (for urology, general surgery, and gynecology), MAKO Joint Replacement Robot (for orthopedics);

Within a 3 km radius: Boao Forum for Asia permanent venue, coastal resorts, and other tourist attractions catering to integrated “medical + tourism” needs.

5. Follow-up & Health Management: Dedicated health records are established for international patients. Postoperative follow-ups, medication guidance, and health consultations are provided via email or video. Select specialties offer second opinions from overseas experts.

VII. International Patient Testimonials: “Outstanding in Both Treatment Outcomes and Service”

Boao International Hospital's services and clinical efficacy have earned widespread recognition from international patients. Below are authentic testimonials:

• John (U.S. patient, prostate cancer): “Diagnosed with castration-resistant prostate cancer in the U.S., traditional treatments failed. Through Boao's licensed drugs and devices, I received a novel PARP inhibitor combined with immunotherapy. My PSA (prostate-specific antigen) dropped 80% within 3 months—now I can run normally. The hospital's MDT team is highly professional, and nurses even taught me to order Hainanese chicken rice in Chinese!”

• Japanese patient Ms. Yamada (post-breast cancer surgery recovery): “Referred from Japan's Cancer Institute Hospital, their Regenerative Medicine Center used adipose stem cells to repair my post-surgical breast tissue—results exceeded expectations. During recovery, nurses accompanied me daily for TCM therapy and taught me to book follow-ups via mobile app—truly thoughtful.”

• Middle Eastern patient Ahmed (child with congenital heart disease): “My child's complex congenital heart condition couldn't be treated in Dubai. After arriving in Boao, the Heart Center specialists used 3D printing technology to simulate the surgical plan, and the operation was highly successful. The hospital arranged a private ward for us and even provided Arabic-speaking nursing aides, making us feel at home in a foreign land.”

According to third-party research, international patient satisfaction reached 97.6% in 2024, with a follow-up visit rate exceeding 40%.
