Ruijin-Hainan Hospital

Medical Excellence

Ruijin-Hainan Hospital represents a groundbreaking partnership between one of China's most prestigious medical institutions—Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine—and the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone. As the first public hospital established within the zone, it opened for trial operations in December 2021, bringing over a century of Ruijin Hospital's medical excellence and academic rigor to Hainan's tropical shores. The hospital specializes in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies, leveraging the zone's unique regulatory framework to offer treatments for chronic diseases that remain experimental elsewhere. Its flagship program focuses on autologous airway basal stem cell therapy for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a pioneering treatment that harvests stem cells from the patient's own airway tissue, expands them in the laboratory, and reintroduces them to regenerate damaged lung tissue. This innovative approach has shown promising results for patients who have exhausted conventional treatment options. The facility features modern inpatient wards with 80 beds, advanced pulmonary function laboratories, bronchoscopy suites equipped with the latest navigation technology, and dedicated stem cell processing facilities that meet international GMP standards. The hospital also maintains a comprehensive internal medicine department, drawing on Ruijin Hospital's renowned expertise in endocrinology, hematology, and cardiovascular medicine to provide holistic care for complex patients. Medical teams at Ruijin-Hainan include professors and senior physicians who rotate from the Shanghai parent hospital, ensuring that patients receive the same caliber of care available at one of China's top-ranked medical centers. The hospital participates actively in clinical research, offering patients access to cutting-edge protocols and contributing to the advancement of regenerative medicine through rigorous scientific study. International patients benefit from dedicated coordination services, including English-language medical consultations, assistance with treatment planning, and support for accommodation and travel logistics. The hospital accepts both Chinese national medical insurance and major international insurance plans, with transparent pricing and detailed treatment cost estimates provided prior to admission.
