HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 June 2026 - As the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) marked the six-month milestone since the launch of its full special customs operations, a Hainan provincial delegation wrapped up a three-day visit to Hong Kong. During the visit, the delegation signed deepened cooperation agreements with several major local chambers of commerce and promoted the latest policies introduced since the island-wide special customs operations took effect.
CCPIT Hainan signs a deepened cooperation MOU with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce.
According to data released by Hainan Province during the visit, Hainan's foreign trade has surged since the launch of special customs operations. As of June 17, the province's total goods imports and exports reached RMB 173.98 billion (approximately US$24 billion), up 54.6% year on year. Imports of zero-tariff goods hit RMB 2.645 billion, a 120% jump that generated tariff savings of RMB 440 million. A total of 172,100 new market entities were registered—a 61% increase—including 1,240 foreign-invested enterprises. Zero-tariff items now account for 74% of all tariff lines, benefiting more than 12,000 market entities.
During the Hong Kong visit, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Hainan Provincial Committee (CCPIT Hainan) signed separate deepened cooperation MOUs with the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce. Under the MOUs, the parties will establish a regular liaison mechanism for the periodic exchange of economic and trade information, and will promote collaboration in areas including professional services, green finance, the digital economy, supply chain management, and cultural tourism. Mutual enterprise service desks will be set up to provide consulting services regarding policies and projects. The parties will leverage their complementary strengths to help Chinese mainland enterprises access overseas markets via Hong Kong, while facilitating Hong Kong companies' entry into the Chinese mainland through Hainan.
The delegation also held talks with the British Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, exploring ways for British and American businesses to leverage Hainan's value-added processing tariff exemptions and multifunctional free trade accounts to position themselves in regional supply chains and cross-border investment and financing. HSBC, De Beers, and other British firms are already active in Hainan, and the UK served as the Guest of Honor country at the 2025 China International Consumer Products Expo.
According to industry analysts, amid the shifting international trade landscape, Hainan is leveraging Hong Kong's "super-connector" role to accelerate its integration with global capital and business networks, while simultaneously offering the Hong Kong business community a policy testing ground for entering the Chinese mainland market.

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 June 2026 - FastMed HK, a Hong Kong online dispensing platform, has announced its continued focus on supporting Hong Kong residents and Greater Bay Area visitors who require more convenient access to doctor assessment and prescription dispensing services in Hong Kong. The platform aims to address common pain points in traditional healthcare journeys, including long waiting times, inconvenient access to prescription medicines and privacy concerns, particularly for users seeking support in weight management, women's health, men's health, fertility preparation and other prescription-based healthcare needs.
Online Dispensing Model Addresses Access and Privacy Pain Points
As cross-border travel and healthcare enquiries continue to increase across the Greater Bay Area, some users are looking for a more structured way to understand Hong Kong's prescription medicine system. FastMed HK said its service is designed to provide a clear pathway from online doctor assessment to e-prescription and dispensing, rather than direct self-purchase of prescription medicines.
The platform's model combines online medical assessment, electronic prescription support, medicine delivery and in-store collection. By moving part of the healthcare journey online, FastMed HK aims to reduce unnecessary waiting time and repeated physical visits, while maintaining doctor involvement in prescription decisions.
Doctor Assessment Before Prescription Dispensing
FastMed HK provides online doctor assessment with no consultation fee. After assessment by a doctor, eligible users may receive an electronic prescription and arrange dispensing through delivery or in-store collection. The company emphasises that prescription medicines should only be supplied after professional medical review and according to each user's individual medical situation.
"Medical convenience should not come at the expense of safety, compliance or privacy," FastMed HK said. "Our role is to provide a structured online pathway where users can receive doctor assessment, obtain an electronic prescription where clinically appropriate, and arrange prescription dispensing through a transparent Hong Kong channel. This is particularly relevant for Greater Bay Area users seeking legitimate access to Hong Kong medical resources and professional support."
Supporting Greater Bay Area Users Seeking Hong Kong Medical Access
FastMed HK said the service is also intended to support Greater Bay Area visitors who come to Hong Kong and require doctor assessment before arranging prescription dispensing. The platform noted that some medicine categories may be less accessible, less familiar or more difficult to enquire about in certain markets, creating demand for clear information and regulated medical processes in Hong Kong.
For users travelling to Hong Kong, the platform offers an online-first process that allows them to make enquiries, complete medical assessment where appropriate, and arrange prescription dispensing before collecting medicines in Hong Kong or receiving delivery, subject to the applicable service arrangement.
Service Scope Covers Multiple Prescription-Based Health Needs
FastMed HK's service scope covers a range of prescription-based healthcare categories, including weight management, men's health, women's health, contraception-related enquiries, fertility preparation, obstetric-related medication support, hair-loss management and selected prescription medicine dispensing services.
The platform states that all prescription-related services are subject to doctor assessment. Medicines are dispensed according to applicable Hong Kong medical and pharmacy requirements, and are not intended for self-diagnosis or self-medication without professional advice.
Privacy-Focused Workflow for Sensitive Health Needs
Privacy is another key issue addressed by the platform. For health needs involving sexual health, contraception, hair loss, body weight, fertility preparation or other sensitive personal concerns, some users may delay seeking help due to embarrassment, time constraints or concerns over disclosure.
FastMed HK said its online workflow, discreet communication and dispensing arrangements are designed to offer a more private experience while keeping medical decisions under doctor supervision. The company believes this is especially important for users who require professional support but prefer to avoid unnecessary exposure during the consultation and medicine collection process.
