China should pay more attention to the high-end digital medical equipment of domestic production (1)

Editor's Note: in recent years, the multinational companies such as GE, Siemens, and other enterprise-related products have been racing to China has basically formed on this market dominance.

China accelerates high-end digital medical equipment.

Deputies, Wuhan University Party Secretary Li Jian this will bring a total of three recommendations, one of them is "paying attention to high-end digital medical equipment of domestic law.

Once a 6-year Ministry of science and technology and new technology development and industrialization of Secretary Li Jian, admits on independent innovation has very deep feelings.

He said that the concern for high-end digital medical equipment issue has been a long time, hoping to pass two meeting their appeal attracts the attention.

Speed up high-end digital medical equipment delay

Digital medical equipment industry is the traditional medical device technology and electronic information, biological engineering, new materials, precision manufacturing technology combine to form a new high-tech industry in recent years, the rapid rise in the world.

Li Jian said, as China's economic and social development and the improvement of living standards, the market for digital medical equipment, in particular the CT scan machine, magnetic resonance imaging machines and on cancer early inspection of equipment for PET/CT and other high-end digital medical equipment of the sharp increase in demand.

In recent years, the multinational companies such as GE, Siemens, and other enterprise-related products have been racing to China has basically formed on this market dominance.

Foreign high-end digital medical equipment, the large influx of Chinese to us what kind of influence? Li Jian said, not only in its infancy in national digital medical device industry an enormous impact, resulting in substantial commercial profits in China and the loss of foreign exchange, and medical expenses of high growth and played a role of flames, directly affecting people's concern is to lead people "expensive".

According to the survey, importing a PET/CT take 3000 million, patients make a body check to fees.

Domestic high-end digital medical equipment that is based on the domestic market?, through in-depth research Lee found mainly for the following reasons:

First, the policy reasons.

First, government procurement policy and buyer's credit is not in place. Although we have been able to produce performance to meet the requirements of CT scanners and MRI equipment, but because of the imported product has been counted, so if you do not use government procurement policy is difficult to catch-up. In addition, the purchase of imported high grade large medical devices often can get exporter of buyer credit, domestic equipment of buyer's credit is not guaranteed, this is domestic equipment enemy but a cause of imported equipment. Secondly, the use fee schedule of medical equipment. In the import equipment and domestic equipment charges, most of the medical institution performing a homogeneous different price of a double standard, because of the imported equipment rates far higher rates of domestic similar equipment, resulting in some hospitals would rather spend big price imported equipment rather than buy domestic equipment.

Second, technical reasons.

First of all is industry standard technology. According to the survey, in the field of technical standards for medical devices, the vast majority of the general standards for medical devices. In high-end digital medical device field, due to technical standards, technical barriers to trade, China's almost undefended. Second, because of the lack of a proprietary core technology, we are to a large extent by others. Currently, the so-called Chinese high-end digital medical equipment, the vast majority are multinational companies in China's sole or joint ventures. Although we have some national enterprises in recent years in some high-end digital medical equipment research breakthrough, but the overall level, and developed countries there are still gaps in stages.

The third is the talent reasons.

High-end digital medical devices involved in medicine, physics, biology, manufacture, materials science, and many other disciplines, between different disciplines and different professional joint research. But the current model is largely studied medicine don't understand the science of mechanical and electrical, mechanical and electronic's ignorance of the hospital, making this emerging industry is a lack of effective talent support.

Our digital medical device industry is facing important opportunities

Li Jian said, from the digital world, is a medical device development.

Although in recent years due to factors such as the financial crisis, the global economic slowdown, but the medical device and equipment industry has been growing consistently in the ascendant, significantly higher than the same period of economic growth. In medical devices, the proportion of digital medical devices has become increasingly large medical equipment and instruments for industrial development mainstream. As information technology, life science and technology for development and human health attention to itself, the digital medical device industry is generally considered to be the most promising of the 21st century sunrise industry.
