China should pay attention to the localization of high-end digital medical equipment

Editor's Note: In recent years, related products of multinational companies such as GE and Siemens have rushed to China, and they have basically formed a monopoly on this market. It is imperative that China accelerate the localization of high-end digital medical equipment .

Li Jian, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan University, brought a total of three suggestions, one of which is "to pay attention to the localization of high-end digital medical equipment."

Li Jian, who has been the director of the Department of High-Tech Development and Industrialization of the Ministry of Science and Technology for six years, admits that he has a deep feeling for independent innovation. He said that it has been a long time to pay attention to the localization of high-end digital medical equipment. I hope that it will attract the attention of relevant parties through the appeals of the two conferences.

Accelerating the localization of high-end digital medical equipment is an urgent task

The digital medical equipment industry is an emerging high-tech industry that combines traditional medical device technology with electronic information, bioengineering, new materials, precision manufacturing and other technologies. It has risen rapidly in the world in recent years.

Li Jian said that with the development of China's economy and society and the improvement of people's living standards, the market is high-end for digital medical equipment, especially CT scanning and inspection machines, MRI machines and special equipment for early detection of malignant tumors such as PET/CT. The demand for digital medical devices has grown dramatically. In recent years, related products of multinational companies such as GE and Siemens have rushed to China, and they have basically formed a monopoly on this market.

What kind of impact does foreign high-end digital medical equipment flood into China have on us? Li Jian said that it not only has a huge impact on the national digital medical equipment industry in its infancy, but also leads to a large amount of commercial profits and foreign exchange losses in China. The rapid growth of medical expenses has played a role in fueling the situation, directly affecting the vital interests of the broad masses of the people, and is an important reason for the people to "see a doctor". According to the survey, it takes about 30 million yuan to import a PET/CT, and the patient has to pay 10,000 yuan for a full-body examination.

Why is it difficult for domestic high-end digital medical equipment to stand on the local market? Li Jian found through in-depth research that there are mainly the following reasons:

The first is the policy reasons. The first is that government procurement policies and buyer credit are not in place. Although we have been able to produce CT scanners and MRI devices with satisfactory performance, imported products are pre-emptive, so it is difficult to recover lost ground without government procurement policies. In addition, the purchase of imported high-end large-scale medical equipment can often obtain the buyer's credit in the exporting country, while the buyer's credit of the domestically produced equipment is not guaranteed, which is one reason why the domestic equipment is not able to match the imported equipment. Secondly, the charging standard for medical equipment is unreasonable. On the issue of the charging of imported equipment and domestically produced equipment, most medical institutions implement double standards of different prices. Since the charging standard for imported equipment is much higher than the charging standard for domestically produced equipment, some hospitals prefer to spend large prices. Foreign equipment is not willing to buy domestic equipment.

The second is the technical reasons. The first is the backwardness of industrial technology standards. According to the survey, most of the current technical standards in the field of medical devices in China are conventional medical device standards. In the field of high-end digital medical equipment, due to the backward technical standards, China is almost undefended in terms of trade technical barriers. Secondly, due to the lack of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, we are largely subject to people. At present, most of the so-called domestic high-end digital medical equipment is produced by multinational companies in China's sole proprietorship or joint venture. Although some of our national enterprises have made breakthroughs in the development of some high-end digital medical equipment in recent years, from the overall level, there is still a staged gap with developed countries.

The third is the reason for talent. High-end digital medical equipment involves many disciplines such as medicine, physics, biology, manufacturing, materials science, etc. It requires mutual penetration between different disciplines and joint research by different professions. However, the current talent training model is largely due to the lack of understanding of mechatronics in medical science and the lack of understanding of medical electronics. This emerging industry lacks effective talent support.

China's digital medical equipment industry faces important opportunities

Li Jian said that from the world point of view, digitalization is a major trend in the development of medical equipment. Despite the slowdown in global economic growth due to financial crisis and other reasons in recent years, the medical equipment and equipment industry has been in the ascendant, and the growth rate has always been significantly higher than the economic growth during the same period. In medical equipment, the proportion of digital medical equipment is increasing, which has become the mainstream of the development of medical equipment and equipment industry. With the development of information technology, life science technology and human attention to its own health, the digital medical equipment industry is widely regarded as one of the most promising sunrise industries in the 21st century.

From the domestic point of view, first of all, China has the world's largest digital medical equipment industry market. As China has a population of 1.3 billion, with the advancement of a comprehensive well-off society, people's awareness of health care continues to increase, and the digital medical equipment industry will become a big industry. Secondly, the digital medical equipment industry has a long industrial chain and a large industrial relevance. If it is developed, it can effectively drive a large number of related industries such as electronic information, bioengineering, new materials and precision manufacturing in China. Third, after years of hard work, we have now broken through a number of key core technologies for digital medical equipment, and initially achieved industrialization. For example, in the field of large-scale digital medical equipment, the CT scanner produced by Shenyang Neusoft Company and the MRI equipment produced by Shenzhen Anke Company not only broke the monopoly of foreign products in the Chinese market, but also made the price of imported similar products reduce. Fourth, as public hospitals deepen the reform of the medical system and the separation of medicines, the proportion of medical services will further increase, and the demand for digital medical equipment, especially high-end digital medical equipment, will be more vigorous. Suggestions on accelerating the development of China's digital medical equipment industry

In view of this, Li Jian’s representative solemnly put forward his three suggestions:

1. Increase investment in independent innovation and research and development of key technologies for digital medical equipment, and incorporate the digital medical equipment industry into emerging industries related to people's livelihood that are under national development. In his government work report, Premier Wen Jiabao said that it is necessary to vigorously cultivate and develop strategic emerging industries. The development of strategic emerging industries must be people-oriented, not only to develop some industries involving national security and competitiveness, but also to develop some industries closely related to people's livelihood, and the digital medical equipment industry belongs to the latter. In developed countries, the output value of medical equipment and equipment industry and pharmaceutical industry is roughly the same. In China, the output value of the former is only one-fifth of the latter. The serious imbalance of this ratio indicates that the medical equipment and equipment industry has huge room for development in China. With a population of 1.3 billion, China has decided to have the world's largest market for medical devices and devices. Digital medical equipment is a typical high-tech product. Actively developing digital medical equipment can not only form an emerging high-tech industry in China, optimize the industrial structure, effectively stimulate domestic demand, but also benefit the people's livelihood, effectively curb the rise of medical expenses, and promote the reform of the medical system and improve the quality of life of the people. Important role. Although it is difficult to develop high-end digital medical equipment, if we can grasp the localization of high-end digital medical equipment like the localization of CNC machine tools, after several years of efforts, we will be able to fundamentally reverse the foreign equipment to the Chinese market. monopoly.

2. Implement government procurement for domestic high-end digital medical equipment with independent intellectual property rights, and provide buyer credit for the purchase of domestic high-end digital medical equipment with independent intellectual property rights. Government procurement is an important means for a country to support the development of its strategic emerging industries. It is recommended that high-end digital medical equipment that can be produced in China and meet the requirements can be included in the government procurement catalogue. In the future, all levels of medical institutions that use financial funds to purchase related equipment must give priority to purchasing domestic products with independent intellectual property rights. Many hospitals are interested in domestic high-end digital medical equipment, but it is difficult to pay millions of dollars or even thousands of yuan in one lump sum. It is recommended that banks set up buyer's credit to support the development of domestic high-end digital medical equipment industry, which will not only help domestic equipment and imported equipment to compete on an equal footing, accelerate the development of our own digital medical equipment industry, but also stimulate domestic demand, promote the transformation of growth mode and industrial structure. Adjustments to achieve multiple wins.

3. Accelerate the establishment of China's digital medical equipment technical standards system and strengthen the training of digital medical equipment industry talents. To develop the digital medical device industry, technical standards must be advanced. Due to China's huge market and the fact that medical equipment is related to ethnicity, we are actively adopting international standards. It is entirely possible to establish our own standards from the special needs of Chinese people and form restrictions on foreign countries within the framework of WTO rules. The technical barriers to trade that products are driving straight into the market. Talent is the key to developing digital medical equipment. It is necessary to deepen the reform of education, further strengthen the integration of medicine with other disciplines, especially engineering, and cultivate a group of compound talents who understand both medicine and machinery and electronics, and provide necessary talents for the development of digital medical equipment industry.
