Jiading district has been chosen as one of the five districts in Shanghai to develop medical industrial clusters, which will accelerate the development of Jiading's precision medicine and the health service.
Centering on the National Liver Cancer Scientific Center and the regional traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) institutions, Jiading is to develop itself into a medical industrial cluster specializing in cell-mediated immunity technologies, precision treatments of tumors, and TCM health service.
The other four districts in Shanghai earmarked to develop the medical industrial clusters are Pudong New Area, Hongqiao district, Taopu town of Putuo district, and Fenglin Street of Xuhui district.
