Hainan to expand healthcare facilities

Hainan province, one of China's most popular tourist destinations, recently launched a three-year action plan to boost its healthcare sector, with the unveiling of various supportive measures, such as transforming existing buildings into healthcare facilities and reducing land leasing costs for businesses.

According to the plan, some existing buildings could be redeveloped, allowing for the transformation of facilities including vacant commercial spaces, factories, school buildings, offices and training facilities into those for healthcare services.

Hotels and resorts could launch such services if their operational conditions meet regulatory standards. Enterprises are also being encouraged to redevelop residential properties into such service facilities after necessary checks.
