For this round of investment,Zhongda Venture Capital President Zheng GuihuiIt was stated that “pathological diagnosis is the gold standard for clinical diagnosis and holds significant importance in tumor diagnosis. Currently, China has a large population of cancer patients, with rising incidence and mortality rates.

Regarding the investment in Baisheng Biological,Ms. Tan Fei, Investment Director of Yanghe InvestmentHe stated, “Amid the broader trend of price reductions driven by centralized procurement, the reimbursement rates for multiple clinical pathology testing items have been adjusted upward. This reflects the state’s supportive stance toward pathology testing, suggesting that the sector is poised for rapid growth over the next decade. With the founding team of Baisheng Biological having deeply cultivated the field of pathological immunohistochemistry for many years, we are confident that Baisheng Biological will stand out in the pathology testing landscape.”
