The country attaches great importance to the localization of high - end medical devices

At this year's national two sessions, Wu Mingjiang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former vice president of the Chinese Medical Association, submitted a proposal titled "Comprehensive Efforts to Promote the Upgrade, Innovation and Development of China's Medical Devices". This proposal puts forward a number of suggestions centering on the basic research of medical devices, the construction of standard systems, the effective combination of production and demand, and encouraging the development of domestic medical devices.

　　Wu Mingjiang said that by the end of 2015, there are more than 14,000 medical device manufacturing enterprises in China. Among them, nearly 90% have a production scale of less than 20 million yuan, and only more than 300 have a production scale exceeding 100 million yuan. More than 2,600 enterprises are capable of producing relatively high-end products.

　　Relevant government departments have strengthened top-level design, built a communication platform for production and demand, promoted interactive exchanges and scientific and technological research among production, universities, research institutes and medical institutions, enabling a number of core equipment and key components to be localized, and effectively increased the market share of some domestic medical devices. At the same time, efforts have been strengthened to carry out research on basic and important engineering technology of the industry, and to advance the research on industrial application engineering technology and the construction of service capabilities covering special manufacturing equipment, testing equipment, process technology, reliability research, stability research and other fields required for mass production of medical devices.
