Boao Super Hospital

Boao Super Hospital: A Medical Hub in the Free Trade Port, Guardian of Global Health

I. Hospital Overview

Located in the core area of the Boao Lvcheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (hereinafter referred to as the “Pilot Zone”) in Hainan, Boao Super Hospital is a Grade A tertiary general hospital approved by the National Health Commission and the Hainan Provincial People's Government. It serves as a flagship medical institution under the Pilot Zone's “early and pilot” policy framework. Leveraging Hainan Free Trade Port's open policies and the Pilot Zone's “Four Special Permissions” advantages—special medical services, special research, special operations, and special international medical exchanges—the hospital collaborates with top global medical resources, including Shulan Healthcare Group, Mayo Clinic, and Johns Hopkins Hospital. It is dedicated to building a modern medical complex that is “world-class and domestically leading.”

With a total floor area of approximately 170,000 square meters and a planned capacity of 1,200 beds (500 beds opened in Phase I), the hospital features internationally standardized outpatient buildings, inpatient towers, research centers, and rehabilitation facilities. Its warm and comfortable environment provides comprehensive services spanning prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and health management. Since commencing operations in 2018, the hospital has served over 100,000 domestic and international patients, establishing itself as a “golden calling card” for medical tourism in Hainan and the Asia-Pacific region.

II. Technological Advantages: Empowered by Specialized Policies, Leading with Cutting-Edge Technology

As the core entity within the Pilot Zone's “policy special zone,” Boao Super Hospital derives its competitive edge from a dual-engine approach of “policy + technology”:

1. Privileged Medical Policy Benefits: The hospital is the nation's sole institution authorized to utilize internationally innovative drugs and medical devices not yet approved domestically. It has introduced over 300 such products—including novel cancer immunotherapies, gene therapy products, and high-end interventional consumables—covering oncology, rare diseases, and cardiovascular/cerebrovascular conditions. This enables “globally synchronized” treatment plans for patients with complex and severe conditions.

2. Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Model: For complex cases, the hospital integrates domestic and international expert resources to form “one-stop” MDT teams (e.g., for oncology, organ transplantation, and neurodegenerative diseases), breaking traditional departmental barriers to achieve precise diagnosis and personalized treatment.

3. Precision Medicine and Regenerative Medicine Hub: Leveraging its status as a nationally registered stem cell clinical research institution, the hospital leads domestically in stem cell therapy, tissue engineering (e.g., cartilage repair, skin regeneration), and genetic testing. It also incorporates a supercomputing center and biobank to support precision medicine research and clinical translation.

III. Specialized Departments: Focusing on Complex Cases, Covering the Full Lifecycle

Guided by the principle of “specialized excellence with comprehensive strength,” the hospital prioritizes developing the following signature departments:

• Cancer Center: Collaborating with world-class institutions like MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, it delivers precision radiotherapy (including proton therapy), immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors), targeted therapy, and minimally invasive surgery for common cancers like lung, breast, and colorectal cancers, while also offering specialized clinics for rare tumors.

• Organ Transplant Center: Performs living donor kidney transplants, split liver transplants, pediatric liver transplants, and other techniques, achieving transplant survival rates exceeding the national average. Collaborates with The Transplantation Society (TTS) to establish an “Organ Donation and Transplantation Training Base.”

• Regenerative Medicine Center: Focuses on stem cell therapy (e.g., Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury), tissue engineering (e.g., bone defect repair, corneal regeneration), and anti-aging medicine (adipose stem cell grafting, PRP therapy). It is one of the few institutions in China with qualifications for stem cell clinical research and application.

• Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Center: Equipped with hybrid operating rooms (DSA + surgical robot), it performs complex coronary interventions (e.g., chronic total occlusion), radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmias, and structural heart disease procedures (interventional closure). The center also provides early screening and long-term management for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

IV. Departmental Structure: Comprehensive Healthcare Services
