In the toll window of the paying hall of a top three hospital near Dongsi Liutiao in Dongcheng District, Beijing, Ms. Wang handed the checklist opened by the doctor to the toll collector in the window. The toll collector was skilled to operate. For a while, the toll collector said: “557 yuan Ms. Wang said to herself, "How come so much?"

After getting the outpatient bills, Ms. Wang told the reporter that she would do a stomach check every year. In other top three hospitals, it was only over 300 points. This time, there were more than 200 yuan, which does not include the amount of inspection. Diplomatic anesthetic costs.

Ms. Wang glanced at the bill and told reporters that the inspection equipment was imported, so it was higher than other hospitals.

In fact, in recent years, going to the hospital to see a doctor, in addition to high drug prices, the high cost of examination is also an unbearable burden for patients.

A doctor in a department of the General Hospital of the Army told the reporter that the inspection clarity of imported medical equipment is significantly higher than that of domestically produced medical equipment, which is the main reason why hospitals spend a lot of money to purchase imported equipment.

It is reported that the medical device industry involves many high-tech fields such as medicine, machinery and electronics. Its core technologies cover medical polymer materials, laboratory medicine, and hematology. It is a multi-disciplinary, capital-intensive high-tech industry. Therefore, the production level of high-end medical equipment is also an important indicator to measure a country's comprehensive strength and scientific and technological level.

Imported medical equipment that is rising year by year

"Most of the important patent drug market in China is occupied by foreign companies. High-end medical equipment mainly relies on imports, which is one of the main reasons for expensive medical treatment." This is the general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, the president of the state, and the chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping A speech at the Innovation Conference, the Academician of the two academies, and the Ninth National Congress of the China Association for Science and Technology.

With the rapid development of China's economy and the increasing number of elderly people, the demand for medical devices in the domestic market is also increasing. However, there is a certain gap between domestic medical devices and foreign countries in technology, which has also led to an increase in the growth rate of imported medical devices.

According to customs data, in 2014, the total volume of medical equipment trade in China reached 35.794 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 4.32%, down 9.8 percentage points from 2013. Among them, the import value was 15.771 billion US dollars, an increase of 5.32%.

In 2015, China's total medical equipment trade reached US$38.489 billion, an increase of 7.53% year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 3.21 percentage points year-on-year. Among them, the export value was US$21.17 billion, up 5.73% year-on-year, and the growth rate was up 2.17% year-on-year; the import volume was US$17.319 billion, up 9.81% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 4.49 percentage points year-on-year.

The data also shows that the import volume of 43 varieties with an import value of over US$100 million exceeds 12,000, and Shanghai ranks first among provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. In 2015, there were 43 varieties of medical device products with an import value of more than 100 million US dollars, an increase of 8 varieties. Among them, general medical equipment, color ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, rehabilitation equipment to compensate for physiological defects, X-ray tomograph, endoscope, magnetic resonance imaging equipment, etc. are the main imported products.

It is reported that the high-value-added large-scale equipment market such as nuclear magnetic and CT is almost monopolized by companies such as Siemens and Philips. In many hospitals, even small consumables such as screws, surgical sutures, and various reagents use expensive imported products.

Luo Gaozhun, general manager of Shenzhen Siglo Investment Development Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the reporter of China Sankei Shimbun that many large hospitals are now willing to spend a lot of money to purchase imported equipment. These imported equipment are tens of millions of yuan. In addition, there are many intermediate distribution links, and the price increase at different levels has further aggravated the high cost of examinations for patients.

"This not only increases the burden on patients, but also further consumes medical insurance funds." Luo Gaozhan admits that domestic medical equipment manufacturers' product quality, after-sales service capabilities, brand influence, etc. are not recognized by hospitals and consumers, and cannot reach doctors and patients. The expected effect can only be purchased through imported medical equipment.

A few years ago, a survey report by the Central Committee of the Zhi Gong Dang showed that foreign-funded medical devices accounted for more than 90% of hospitals at the tertiary level and secondary hospitals accounted for about two-thirds.

"Localization" process speeds up

While foreign giants continue to occupy the domestic market share, domestic medical device companies have also accelerated from small to large. At present, it has developed into a sunrise industry with more complete product categories, increasing innovation capabilities and strong market demand.

Especially in recent years, the development speed of the medical device industry has further accelerated. The output value of the products has maintained double-digit growth for many years, and the quantity and technological content of product exports have also been continuously improved.

According to statistics, in 2001, the scale of China's medical device market was only RMB 17 billion. By 2013, the size of the medical device market exceeded RMB 200 billion for the first time. By 2014, the size of the medical device market was RMB 255.6 billion, 14 years. The medical device market has experienced a 14-fold increase in the size of the market, with an average annual compound growth of 22.69%.

According to another data, from January to October 2015, the medical device industry realized an accumulated operating income of RMB 190.119 billion, with a total accumulated profit of RMB 17.633 billion. The cumulative operating income and profit growth rate were 11.22% and 14.46%, respectively. Compared with January-September, there has been a significant increase, and it is significantly higher than the 4.07% growth rate in the same period of 2014.

Accelerating technological innovation is the way out

In the interview, the reporter learned that although China's medical equipment is developing rapidly, there is still a big gap between China's technological innovation capability and foreign technology.

In the view of the Chinese research institute, the domestic medical device companies lack the awareness of independent innovation, and most enterprises only satisfy the share of the low-end market. Cheng Jiazhi said in an interview with the reporter of China Sankei Shimbun that on the one hand, the industry as a whole is small, scattered and weak, and there is an intensive development model, lacking leading enterprises; on the other hand, there are products without brands, product quality, Performance, design, technology, and service are all behind.

According to the statistics of the State Food and Drug Administration, as of the end of November 2015, there were 14,151 medical device enterprises nationwide, and there are still small and scattered features.

"As far as the current scale is concerned, medical device enterprises with an output value of more than 20 million yuan account for less than 20%." Luo Gaozhan said that although there are some up-and-coming medical device companies in China, in the high-end medical equipment market, foreign investment The market share of monopoly reached 90%.

For the medical device industry, it is a professional market. When patients seek medical treatment, they rely on doctors' advice to select relevant medical equipment. The best medical resources are concentrated in first- and second-tier cities. How to guide them is also essential. of.

Luo Gaozhan suggested that domestic medical device companies should focus on superior resources to increase research and development efforts, provide consumers with quality products, meet patient needs, and strive for greater market share.
