China's Centralized Drug Procurement — Global Price Advantage
China operates a nationwide centralized drug procurement system (VBP — Volume-Based Procurement) that negotiates bulk prices directly with manufacturers, dramatically cutting medication costs. Public hospitals sell drugs at zero markup. The result: many brand-name medications cost a fraction of their price in Western markets.
| Medication | China (approx.) | US / Europe (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Secukinumab (Cosentyx®) | ¥1,500–2,500 ~$210–350 / dose | $5,000–8,000+ / dose |
| Adalimumab (Humira® biosimilar) | ¥800–1,500 ~$110–210 / dose | $4,000–7,000+ / dose |
| Rituximab (MabThera®) | ¥2,000–3,500 ~$280–490 / dose | $6,000–10,000+ / dose |
| Insulin (glargine) | ¥40–80 ~$6–11 / pen | $150–300+ / pen |

Efficiency
In many Western public systems, specialist appointments and scans can take 1–6 months. In Beijing, with our professional service and careful scheduling of your time and itinerary, consultations, examinations, and treatment can be completed within days; outpatient surgery takes no more than a week.
Quality & Scale
Beijing hosts numerous A-class (top-tier) hospitals and international departments, with clinicians experienced in treating international patients. JCI-accredited options are available.
No Crowding of Local Care
International / VIP departments operate within a capped share of public hospital capacity (under 10%), are fully self-pay, and do not draw on public insurance — a separate, premium track.
