Wang Weiming said that the main body of my country's medical equipment enterprises has grown and developed. In the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Rim, a number of leading companies with strong competitiveness and distinctive industrial clusters have been formed. my country has become an important global medical equipment manufacturer. Manufacturing base.
"Overall, during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, my country'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%. The product system of more than 1,100 categories in 22 categories covers all aspects of health and health, and basically meets the needs of my country's medical institutions for diagnosis and treatment, elderly care, chronic disease prevention and emergency rescue." Wang Weiming said.
Wang Weiming also said that the technical level of my country's medical equipment is rapidly improving.
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 new technologies such as 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, and ultra-high-definition video has accelerated, and the rapid development of telemedicine, precision medical and safe medical care." Wang Weiming said.
In response to the medical equipment problems exposed since the epidemic, Li Zhiyong, Secretary-General of the China Medical Equipment Association, stated at the press conference that the "Plan" focuses on key tasks in further improving the prevention, control and treatment capabilities of global infectious diseases and the emergency medical rescue capabilities of major natural disasters. This was deployed in a special operation.
The "Plan" clearly stipulates that it is necessary to strengthen capacity building in epidemic forecasting and early warning, emergency inspection and testing, disease prevention and control, emergency medical rescue, and emergency mobilization of medical equipment, so as to provide medical equipment for major public health incidents and other emergency needs.
"For example, it is necessary to carry out research on complete sets of equipment for rapid detection of infectious diseases, large-scale epidemic prevention and control emergency equipment and solutions, improve the identification of sources of infection, cut off the means of infection, etc., and improve the emergency response capabilities of sudden infectious diseases; to develop long-distance sea, land and air Medical rescue, extreme weather emergency medical rescue and other equipment enhance the emergency medical rescue capability of natural disasters." Li Zhiyong said.
It is worth noting that this "Plan" also clearly stated that the development of medical equipment will adhere to the principle of open cooperation and adhere to the combination of "bringing in" and "going out."
Li Zhiyong said that the medical equipment industry is a very open industry, and international exchanges between medical institutions and medical enterprises are very frequent.
At present, well-known foreign medical equipment companies have basically invested in my country to set up factories and expand production, which has promoted the development and overall level of my country's medical equipment industry, and has also obtained substantial market returns.
"my country's medical equipment industry enterprises and scientific research institutions are also actively developing international cooperation to expand product exports. For example, CT, magnetic resonance, linear accelerators, and ECG monitors produced in my country have been sold to more than 8000 countries and regions in the world. Many medical institutions, especially in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, have made positive contributions to global epidemic prevention and control." Li Zhiyong said.
