Two programmes
An Essential check-up (100+ markers) and a Comprehensive one (~150): labs, cancer screening, ultrasound and CT.
Official representative · Boao Lecheng, Hainan
Regenerative and cellular medicine in China
Cell technologies here are authorised by a dedicated State Council regulation: top-tier hospitals only, dual expert review, and a public register that lists each technology against a specific diagnosis. In most countries these methods are available only inside clinical trials. This is Boao Lecheng, China's state-regulated medical zone on Hainan island. MedBridge is the cluster's official representative for international patients: we match the physicians, arrange diagnostics and the programme, and take care of documents, interpreting and travel. All medical decisions are made by physicians.

Situations
What people bring to us
Six typical situations. If one of them is yours, calm and specific answers follow below.
01
A second opinion on a difficult question
Before a major decision, you want the position of one more strong clinical school — based on your records.
02
Restoration, not compensation
The goal is to return the body's function and resource — not to compensate a symptom for years.
03
Access to the early window
Methods approved in the US, EU and Japan — before they reach your market.
04
Energy and quality of life
Sleep, tone, mobility, clarity — after illness, strain or with age.
05
Medicine ahead of the curve
Deep diagnostics and work with risks before they become diagnoses.
06
Privacy and standard
A personal coordinator, a private format, payment made directly to the clinic.
Care & logistics
Your part is your health. The rest is ours.
Treatment abroad is daunting not because of the medicine, but the chaos around it — paperwork, the clinic, the language, the trip. Here there is none of that: a personal coordinator guides the whole way.
The clinic and doctors
We select the clinic and the right specialists from your records, and arrange diagnostics and a personal plan.
Travel and stay
Visa, flights, transfers and hotel — around your dates.
Someone beside you
A medical interpreter at every appointment and a personal coordinator available around the clock.
Transparent payment
Direct to the clinic, by official invoice, with no markup on care.
Access, not a travel package
We connect you directly with the cluster's specialist medical teams — this is access, not a packaged tour.
No surprises
Every stage is explained and agreed in advance — you always know what happens and when.
From your first message to your return home, one person is responsible for everything — your coordinator. You never have to navigate a foreign country alone.
Step 0 · diagnostics
Every treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis
Every programme here begins with diagnostics. A comprehensive check-up reveals the body's real condition and finds what's easy to miss: hidden inflammation, contraindications, early risks. On that data a physician builds the treatment plan. It doesn't begin without an accurate diagnosis.
17,800 ¥ · 24,800 ¥ for two
The whole Comprehensive programme: diagnostics, a 5★ hotel room, transfers, coordinator. 4 days / 3 nights.
A personal plan
A physician builds your treatment and recovery plan.
An accurate diagnosis
The basis of safety: no programme begins without it.
Our focus · cellular medicine
Cellular & regenerative medicine
In plain terms: instead of muting a symptom, cellular medicine uses living cells — most often your own — so the body can recover with its own resources. In Boao Lecheng these technologies, approved in the US, EU and Japan, are available legally and sooner than in most countries; the scientific base is provided by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Each programme is tailored to you from your diagnostics; a physician prescribes it.
1
Collection
A small amount of your own material — cells or plasma — is taken.
2
Laboratory
In a certified GMP laboratory the cells are isolated, cultured or activated.
3
Return
They are returned to you to support tissue and function recovery. Outpatient, no surgery.
In essence, the body is given back its own recovery resource — and works on the cause, not the symptom. Understand it in depth — what it is and who it's for →
immunityNK therapy
Support for natural immunity using your own NK cells — isolated, activated in the lab and returned. No donor material.

growth factorsPeptide therapy & PRP
Recovery can start with your own biology: PRP and peptides draw growth factors from your own plasma. A gentle way to support skin, tissue and hair — no outside substances.

nervous systemNeuroregeneration
Recovery of the nervous system is slow and takes a whole programme. It's led by a multidisciplinary team (MDT): cellular support, peptide complexes, neuro-infusions.

Two worlds of medicine
What follows is a different medicine altogether
Above — advanced technology: cells, GMP laboratories, FDA-approved methods. Below — the classical tradition: a school a thousand years deep, whose instruments are needles, herbs and the physician's hands. These are different worlds with different tasks, and neither replaces the other. The cluster's strength is that both are here — and we arrange access to each.
A different approach · Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine — at its source
What people have travelled to China for over centuries. We help arrange access to licensed TCM physicians with decades of practice — acupuncture, herbal medicine, tuina, moxibustion. With diagnosis, a programme and interpreting. By indication; decisions are made by physicians.
Acupuncture
The finest sterile needles into active points — one of the best-studied areas for pain and tension.
Chinese herbal medicine
Individual botanical formulas the physician composes for your situation, not from a template.
Tuina & moxibustion
Chinese therapeutic bodywork and mugwort warming — a gentle, natural way to work with the body and its tone.
Pulse & tongue diagnosis
An individual picture by the TCM method, to which the physician matches methods made for you.
Authentic Chinese medicine here is not folk practice but an official, licensed branch of Chinese healthcare — one you can combine with the cluster's modern diagnostics.
Special access · only with us
Taoist medicine: Master Zhi Ning
Consultations with a bearer of a living Taoist transmission: the Shangqing (Maoshan) school in the 80th generation, and the academic school of the famed physician Li Ke — in the third generation of succession. Classical formulas, pulse diagnosis, restorative practices. Such specialists are few even in China — for our patients, consultations are arranged with an interpreter, by prior arrangement, alongside your main treatment.

Medicine that isn't available at home yet
A regulated PRC State Council zone opens technologies approved in the US, Europe and Japan — earlier than they reach most markets. That access is exactly what we open for you.
Request a consultationBoao Lecheng
Why the Boao Lecheng medical cluster
One of the world's few state-run medical pilot zones — on Hainan, since 2013, under the PRC State Council.
Boao Lecheng is not a single clinic but a state-run medical zone in the east of Hainan Island, established by decision of the PRC State Council. Its point is a special legal regime: medicines and technologies already approved in the US, the European Union and Japan may be used here legally — without waiting for full registration across China. That is why people travel here for what is not yet available at home.
In practice this means access to cellular and regenerative medicine, modern oncology and cardiology, and in-depth diagnostics — in licensed hospitals, with cellular preparations produced to GMP and ISO standards and multi-stage quality control. All of it operates under state supervision rather than in the grey area that reviews of treatment abroad so often warn about.
For a patient the difference shows in the details: the programme is built after diagnostics and on medical grounds, decisions are made by specialist physicians, and payment goes directly to the clinic, with no mark-up on the medicine. As the cluster's official representative we take on the organisation — documents, matching the physician, interpreting, transfers and support at every stage.
- Access you can't get at home
The zone opens access to world-class drugs and technologies, many not yet registered in other countries.
- Decided by an MDT
Your plan is drawn up by a team of specialist physicians, not a single doctor.
- Several specialist hospitals
Not one hospital but a zone: precision diagnostics and 3.0T MRI, GMP manufacturing of cellular products and a cryobank, radiotherapy and PET-CT, women's health, rehabilitation and inpatient care — across different clinics of the cluster.
- International standards
PRC health ministry licences, ISO 15189 accredited laboratories, GMP manufacturing of cellular products; buildings designed to JCI standards.
Cluster hospitals
We represent the cluster, not one hospital
Several hospitals operate in the Boao Lecheng zone, and each has its own strength: one is strong on diagnostics, another on manufacturing cellular products, a third on inpatient care. The hospital is matched to the case — which is why we hold no exclusive with anyone.

Recovery by the sea, not within hospital walls
The Boao Lecheng cluster sits on Hainan Island — a tropical resort often called “China's Hawaii.” The mild climate, the ocean and the unhurried pace are part of recovery: between consultations and procedures you stay at a resort hotel by the sea, not counting days in a ward.
Getting here
Closer than you think
The biggest barrier is the feeling that China is far and complicated. In practice the route is well-worn: visa-free Hainan, a straightforward flight and a coordinator who takes over from the moment you land.
Visa-free entry
Hainan is China's visa-free zone: citizens of 59 countries can stay for up to 30 days without a visa. Your coordinator confirms the rules for your passport before the trip.
Easy to reach
Sanya International Airport (SYX): direct routes from major Asian cities and smooth connections via Hong Kong, Guangzhou or Beijing.
Met in person at the airport
Your coordinator meets you at arrivals — from there everything runs to schedule: transfer, check-in, clinic. No taxis, no Chinese-language navigation.
2–5 days to a plan in hand
The active part of the visit is short: diagnostics, consultations and — by indication — the start of a programme. The rest of the time is yours, by the sea.
Who carries your case
Your route is led by a physician, not a manager

Questions
Common questions before you get in touch
No. Cellular and regenerative programmes are considered only by medical indication, after consultation and diagnostics. They don't replace standard care and don't promise a specific result — decisions are made by physicians.
Online, you can start with a preliminary review of your documents. The medical plan is formed by a physician after consultation and, if needed, in-person diagnostics.
A specialist physician or board. MedBridge coordinates documents, translation, communication, the trip and support.
We help organise and translate your records so a specialist can review them. Translations and opinions are shared with you.
Before the trip an indicative estimate can be prepared. The final cost depends on the scope of diagnostics, the prescriptions and the medical institution's decisions.
For most guests — no. Hainan has a visa-free regime: citizens of 59 countries can stay for up to 30 days without a visa. Your coordinator confirms the rules for your passport before the trip.
Yes. The programmes are outpatient, and the cluster sits on a resort island: between clinic visits you stay at a seaside hotel. Many guests pair diagnostics or therapy with a holiday.
We welcome it. The Boao Lecheng medical zone — a state pilot project running since 2013 — and its hospitals are openly documented in official sources; the list of clinics we work with is on this site. Treatment is paid directly to the clinic by official invoice, decisions are made by physicians, and we do not promise medical outcomes.
You will be told so directly, and the programme will not begin — nobody treats here without indications. That is the cluster's rule and our position: an honest 'not needed' beats a course for the sake of a course.
