Who We Are

A Global Innovation Hub
for Cell Therapy

Boao International Medical Center sits within the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone — China's unique "medical openness" gateway to the world. Adhering to the core principle of safety, standardisation and high efficiency, it specialises in world-leading stem-cell and supporting drug treatment for patients who have not responded well to conventional care.

It houses the nation's first hospital-grade iPSC platform and high-standard GMP cell laboratories, focusing on intractable diseases such as malignant tumours, diabetes, neurodegenerative and ophthalmic rare diseases.

The Boao Lecheng Advantage

Four special permissions make this the bridge for medical innovation between China and the world.

Special-Permission Treatment

First-in-human access to international cutting-edge drugs and devices — without lengthy domestic approval — giving patients the world's latest innovative therapies.

Special-Permission Research

Real-World Data can be applied directly to registration, dramatically shortening R&D cycles and accelerating the translation of medical technology.

Special-Permission Operation

Foreign-funded medical institutions and internationally certified doctors practising directly — gathering the world's top medical resources in one place.

Special-Permission Exchange

A deep global cooperation network with 180+ pharmaceutical and medical-device companies across more than 20 countries and regions.

Visa-Free Entry · 86 Countries

Leveraging Hainan's duty-free port policy, patients from Southeast Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Europe can enter for treatment on an ordinary passport — no visa or pre-approval required, with a 30-day stay extendable for treatment.

Medical Specialties

Six Major Specialties

Comprehensive, internationally-synchronised care for complex and chronic conditions.

Precision Oncology

Targeted therapy, immunotherapy, BNCT boron neutron capture, Histotripsy non-invasive ablation and 500+ globally licensed anti-tumour drugs.

Cardio-Cerebrovascular

Leadless pacing, extravascular ICD, renal denervation and stem-cell repair for heart failure — full-cycle chronic disease management.

Neurological Diseases

Minimally-invasive surgery combined with stem-cell therapy (1+1>2) for Parkinson's, MS, stroke rehabilitation and cognitive impairment.

Rare Diseases

The last hope for globally untreatable conditions — hundreds of licensed special drugs, medical food support and international referral green channels.

Metabolic & Endocrine

Type 1 & 2 diabetes, obesity and thyroid disease — including Tzield (Teplizumab) and cutting-edge cell therapy for diabetes.

Super Ophthalmology

Refractory fundus disease, hereditary optic neuropathy and visual-function restoration — including Raxone, the only specific medicine for LHON worldwide.

Clinical data provided by Boao International Medical Center. Outcomes vary by individual; eligibility is confirmed after medical review.

NK cell immunotherapy research
Next-Generation Immunotherapy

NK-Cell Therapy

Boao expands and activates the patient's own natural killer cells to precisely eliminate tumour cells — a low-toxicity, multi-cancer approach that complements surgery, chemotherapy and targeted drugs.

Multi-Cancer Coverage

Lung Cancer
Liver Cancer
Gastric Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Breast Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Prostate Cancer

No Myelosuppression

No reliance on chemotherapy or radiation — bone-marrow stem cells are not damaged, sharply reducing anaemia and infection risk.

No Cytokine Storm

Unlike CAR-T, NK cell therapy lacks the TCR activation pathway, significantly lowering systemic toxicity.

No HLA Matching

NK cells can be used allogenically, dramatically expanding the range of patients who can be treated.

Better Tolerability

Safer for elderly or frail patients, and highly compatible with surgery, targeted drugs and immunotherapy.

Stem Cell Platform

Five Pillars of
Regenerative Medicine

Full-closed cell preparation in in-house GMP-grade laboratories, synchronised with cutting-edge technology from China, Japan and the US.

Authoritative Certification

Dual international certifications and tertiary-hospital-level medical insurance ensure full-process compliance and quantifiable efficacy.

MSC

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Powerful immune regulation and tissue repair — GvHD, type 2 diabetes, IBD, rheumatoid arthritis, organ fibrosis.

iPSC

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

The nation's first hospital-grade iPSC platform — Parkinson's, spinal cord injury, macular degeneration, diabetes.

ESC

Embryonic Stem Cells

Retinal regeneration, myocardial repair for ischaemic heart disease, islet replacement for type 1 diabetes.

HSC

Haematopoietic Stem Cells

Leukaemia, lymphoma, thalassaemia, sickle cell disease and autoimmune conditions.

NSC

Neural Stem Cells

Alzheimer's, ischaemic stroke, ALS, spinal cord injury and Parkinson's disease.
