The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a press conference on the morning of December 28 to introduce the "14th Five-Year" medical equipment industry development plan.
A reporter asked at the meeting, what work has the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology done to promote the development of the medical equipment industry in recent years?
What results have been achieved?
Wang Weiming said that in recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Health Commission and other relevant departments have gathered consensus, strengthened coordination, effectively integrates resources from all parties, and strives to build a development mechanism that promotes the development of medical equipment R&D, production and promotion and application, and promotes industrial development to achieve positive results.
One is the continuous improvement of institutional mechanisms.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Health Commission have established a collaborative working mechanism for promoting the development and application of medical equipment, actively building a cooperation platform for medical institutions and manufacturing enterprises, strengthening medical-industrial collaboration, and promoting the development, production, and demonstration application of high-end medical equipment.
In recent years, it has organized more than 10 types of medical equipment such as orthopedic surgical robots, PET/CT, etc. to carry out clinical demonstration applications, and has received positive responses from more than 300 top three medical institutions, which has effectively promoted the improvement of product performance and quality, and established a medical-enterprise cooperation. , Central and local interaction coordination promotion mechanism.
Second, the ability to innovate has been significantly enhanced.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology supports leading enterprises to take the lead, cross-industry, "industry-university-research medical funds" collaboration, to build a national high-performance medical device innovation center, medical equipment industry technology basic public service platform, innovation achievement industrialization public service platform, increase 7T magnetic resonance, in vitro Tackling key technologies such as membrane lung oxygenation machine (ECMO), strengthening product reliability testing capabilities, accelerating the construction of a medical equipment standard system, and striving to open up the innovation chain of research and development, engineering, industrialization and application, and further consolidate the innovation of the medical equipment industry Development basis.
The third is the rapid improvement of technical level.
Give full play to the active role of relevant localities and industry organizations, build a platform for docking production and demand, and connecting upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and strive to link the industrial chain and supply chain.
With the active efforts of all parties, breakthroughs have been made in a number of key technologies such as superconducting magnets, electron accelerators, and radiofrequency/spectrometers. The 2m PET/CT, orthopedic surgical robots, third-generation artificial hearts, and focused ultrasound treatment systems have reached international advanced levels. At the same level, the output of ECG monitors, digital medical X-ray photography systems (DR), automatic biochemical analyzers and other products is leading the world.
The integration of medical equipment with 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, ultra-high-definition video and other new technologies accelerates the rapid development of telemedicine, precision medicine, and safe medical care.
The fourth is the development and growth of the main body of the enterprise.
Actively strengthen the cultivation of leading enterprises, specialized and new "little giant" enterprises and manufacturing single-sport champion enterprises, and strive to promote the integration and development of large and medium-sized enterprises.
In 2020, there will be more than 2,300 enterprises above designated size in my country's medical equipment industry, realizing more than 410 billion yuan in main business income.
In the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Rim, a number of leading companies with strong competitiveness and industrial clusters with distinctive characteristics have formed. my country has become an important global medical equipment manufacturing base.
Wang Weiming said that overall, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China's medical equipment industry has achieved rapid development. The market size has increased from 480 billion yuan in 2015 to 840 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual compound growth rate of 11.8%.
At present, a product system of more than 1,100 categories in 22 categories has been formed, covering all aspects of health and health, and basically meeting the needs of my country's medical institutions for diagnosis and treatment, elderly care, chronic disease prevention and emergency rescue.
