Industry Background:
Healthcare is an evolving sector in China, especially within the recent years. The regulatory pathway, drug approval process, and the retail sectors have gone through several reformations. New policies by China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) encourage R&D for novel therapies and technology transfers through expedited review processes and favorable clinical and approval standards, in order to solve high unmet medical needs in areas such as cancer, immunology, neurology, and rare diseases.
