A new drug to help prevent COVID-19 infections in people who have compromised immune systems has arrived at the Boao International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone in Hainan province, the country’s only dedicated area that enjoys special preferential policies to import medical devices, technologies and drugs, local authorities said.
Boao Airport Customs completed entry approval of the Evusheld injections, which have a total value of nearly 22 million yuan ($3.3 million), as special goods for the pilot zone on Monday.
To date, the pilot zone has introduced over 200 innovative drugs and medical devices from overseas, providing timely help to Chinese patients, according to the pilot zone’s administration.
Officials with the provincial government said that Hainan is making solid efforts to integrate medical consumption with tourism, with the healthcare sector designated a priority industry in the Hainan Free Trade Port. China has released a master plan to turn all of Hainan Island into a globally influential high-level free trade port by the middle of this century.
