Kazakhstan Site Visit: Key Cities and Healthcare Resources
In June 2025, the Harbor Health delegation visited Kazakhstan, traveling to Almaty and Astana to study healthcare resources and cooperation opportunities.
In Almaty, the delegation focused on emerging medical project investment, medical technology innovation, and digital transformation. In Astana, the team visited a comprehensive medical center integrating international diagnosis and treatment with premium health checkup services, gaining first-hand insight into Kazakhstan's needs in international medical services and talent development.
China Follow-Up Visit: Integrated Medicine and Medical Openness
In October 2025, entrepreneurs from Atameken visited China to inspect representative projects and refine cooperation pathways with Harbor Health. The delegation visited leading hospitals that integrate traditional Chinese and Western medicine, studying precision diagnosis, minimally invasive surgery, and modern integrated care models.
The delegation also visited the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone in Hainan, China's medical special zone, which benefits from policies for licensed medical services, early access to international medicines and devices, and wholly foreign-owned medical institutions.
