- Medical tourism boom in China
China is becoming a hub for medical tourism, offering procedures like CAR-T cancer immunotherapy at significantly lower costs than in the US. The country has established a special medical tourism zone in Hainan and relaxed visa rules to attract international patients. Licensing deals between Chinese biopharma companies and global drugmakers reached $137 billion last year, driven by cost advantages in drug development.
