AIRH Facilitates China–Malaysia Health Industry Collaboration, Advancing Practical Progress in Traditional Chinese Medicine Cooperation
28 April 2026
Following the successful conclusion of the China–Malaysia Cultural Innovation and Exchange & Economic and Trade Ecosystem Matching Summit (Kuala Lumpur Edition) on 22 April, the Asia Innovation Research Hub (AIRH) has continued to leverage its role as a platform for cross-border resource integration and industry collaboration, facilitating practical cooperation between Chinese and Malaysian enterprises in the healthcare and wellness sector.
As part of its commitment to advancing strategic industry initiatives, AIRH swiftly moved to translate dialogue into action by successfully facilitating a business matching session between Ningbo Dekang Biological Products Co., Ltd. of China and KL International Chinese Medicine Hospital of Malaysia. The two parties engaged in in-depth discussions on the application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products, healthcare service solutions, and potential areas for regional cooperation, and have reached a preliminary intention to collaborate.
Ningbo Dekang Biological Products Co., Ltd. has long focused on the research, development, and application of TCM-related products, supported by a well-established technological foundation and comprehensive product portfolio within the healthcare industry.
KL International Chinese Medicine Hospital is one of Malaysia’s leading integrative healthcare institutions, combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical practices. With nearly three decades of operational experience and multiple branches across the country, the hospital has built a strong reputation in TCM treatment, rehabilitation services, and holistic healthcare solutions. It is also widely recognized for its contributions to multicultural healthcare services and the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine in Malaysia.
This collaboration marks a significant step toward deeper integration between China’s traditional Chinese medicine industry and Malaysia’s local healthcare ecosystem. By combining the strengths of Chinese enterprises in product innovation and industrial development with the clinical expertise and localized service capabilities of Malaysian healthcare providers, the partnership is expected to accelerate the localization and broader adoption of TCM solutions across Southeast Asia.
The initiative also serves as a strong example of AIRH’s efforts to transform industry dialogue into tangible project implementation. Leveraging its extensive network and industry connectivity across China and ASEAN, AIRH continues to develop a collaborative framework that spans business matching, application deployment, and industrial synergy, enabling enterprises to achieve efficient market entry and meaningful partnership outcomes throughout the region.
Against the backdrop of deepening China–Malaysia economic and trade relations, the healthcare and wellness sector has emerged as a key area of growth and cooperation. Looking ahead, AIRH will continue to focus on priority sectors including healthcare, digital technologies, and cultural industries, facilitating the implementation of more high-quality collaborative projects while promoting industrial synergy between China, Malaysia, and the broader ASEAN region. Through these efforts, AIRH aims to contribute to sustainable regional economic development and long-term cross-border cooperation.
