Chinese medical device market is actually composed of countless heroes “bow”
July 25, GE Healthcare announced that X-ray global headquarters will move to Beijing from the United States to open up China and other emerging markets. Last year, GE Healthcare has announced $ 2 billion in China\\ s plan, including the establishment of six R & D centers in China, a total of $ 500 million.
China, in the end how much of the fascination with the world\\ s number one medical device company that \"cordial\"? Recently through the VC, PE investment institutions such as the investigation, the reporter learned that the Chinese medical device market has become their investment \"new favorite\" .
Vast
Inspection tour of China\\ s medical device market, Sequoia Capital China partner Kui Zhou said the Chinese medical device market space is extremely broad.
According to him, China\\ s overall medical device sales volume growth in the past decade, nearly five times the rate of 21% annual growth in the last five years, the big market is the range of 20% of accelerated development.
According to Zhou Kui predicted that China\\ s medical device market, the current size is 100 billion yuan. \"Our total expenditure on the medical and health services accounted for 4.7% of GDP, while the developed countries, generally about 10%, which the United States reached 16% of China\\ s medical device and drug consumption ratio of 1:10, the ratio has been developed 1:1, China\\ s medical device industry, there are still large gaps in the market space for development is extremely broad. \"he said to reporters.
Medical device market, has attracted VC and PE investment institutions such great interest.
Figure days Cen Investment Partners, said the king, before the pharmaceutical company\\ s share of their total investment amount of investment of 70%, and from 2010 to now, the pharmaceutical investment has fallen to 50%, medical equipment and medical services of the investment ratio rose to 50%.
Capital Partners and IDG Ventures Suyang preferred that the main reason is that medical devices There is no monopoly in this area, therefore, private enterprises have many opportunities. At the same time, with Shenzhen Mindray Medical and diving medical market at home and abroad, led to a large number of medical device companies to capital markets, this is a good start.
Vice President Hu Minglong diving medical to reporters said that in 2011 China\\ s medical device market capacity also in 1000-120000000000 level, which compared with the world, only a very small piece of cake. The future, as new medical reform, the state began to encourage hospitals to charge through the clinic, in terms of medical equipment will be a new golden years, the opportunity is very good.
In addition, earlier this month at the \"Medical Device Industry Development Forum\", the Ministry of Health Planning and Finance Deputy Director Liu Diankui said, \"five\" strong support during the development of domestic medical equipment, the implementation of centralized bidding and purchasing, health care priority to the purchase of domestic equipment. Liu Diankui that health system reform for the domestic medical device industry, provides unprecedented opportunities and broad space for development, \"second five\" during the economic means to effectively guide the medical use of domestic medical equipment.
Structural opportunities
Sequoia Capital China partner Kui Zhou appears in the low-end medical equipment including medical equipment, supplies and health care of high value household goods. Now, some of the equipment slowly out of the hospital, into the family. The last three years, as Nuokang, will Kang, Kaifeng, billion Teng, new students, according to Rodriguez and other companies introduced products, have started from the hospital to home.
The growth trend will depend on many factors. Kui Zhou believes that the growth of low-end medical equipment, and related policy implications. The growth of high-value consumables, the increased demand associated with the rich.
Segments from the point of view, co-director of Intel Capital China, Wu Ronghui is optimistic about the medical equipment. She said, Intel set up after the number of medical departments, there is a large initiative, Intel and GE together to form a joint venture company, the main direction is the home medical equipment, portable, and can collect a lot of physical characteristics. In the future be possible to detect more chronic disease management and content to the family, community hospitals to promote, market space, which is they are more optimistic about the direction.
And Zhou Kui believe that the medical device industry, there are still structural opportunities.
He said that the industry is very characteristic, many small businesses make money, market, each company has not exhausted his means of competition, there is no great pressure to survive. It can be said medical device industry, the industry has not been fully integrated, not too many very powerful enterprises. Billions of dollars in business less than one hundred, in fact, you can see the concentration is very small. \"In the medical device industry, practitioners see the opportunities, investors can see that there is demand, there are opportunities for structural change.\"
Can expect that, in the market process, there will be companies emerge as industry leaders.
A market research analyst, told reporters, take diving medical, last year, the market scale of operation is 848 million yuan, while in the United States, Wall Street has an excellent micro-listed company called Sport, and its 1998 operating income There are 1.711 billion U.S. dollars, the gap is too big, like diving medicine, like Sequoia Capital investment Yi into the future will become a billion, billion, or even billions of enterprises, because the size of the market to allow such a company.
Reinforce the general system of primary care physicians
Recently, the "State Council on the establishment of general practitioners, the guidance system" (hereinafter referred to as "guidance") release, clear the general practitioner s training objectives, training systems and incentives, the training of general practitioners rose to national action. This will also attract the relevant education, training, information providers involved.
As we all know, the new medical reform is an important task is to establish and improve primary health care system, while the GP is a vital element of this system. People are willing to let the community hospitals at home, the township hospital, the key is to improve primary health care level and quality of health care institutions, and to improve medical standards, the key is sufficient, a high level of general practitioners.
System has just started
Department of Hematology, Peking University People s Hospital Road, Jin, chief physician called in talking about the disease of multiple myeloma misdiagnosis rate as high as 60% or more is very mixed feelings: Multiple myeloma is a hematological disease, the symptoms are bone pain, fractures, anemia, renal dysfunction, infections, no specific clinical manifestations of these patients may therefore go to orthopedics, respiratory, renal medicine doctor, repeated treatment but does not solve the fundamental problem, twists and turns will be found to the problem of Hematology . "60% of patients will have 1 year of treatment and tortuous history." Lu Jin said, "If the orthopedic, respiratory, renal medicine doctor in addition to their professional outside also has a certain knowledge of multiple myeloma, so patients The doctor would not be so tortuous course, also be able to seize the favorable opportunity of early detection and treatment. "
Such as multiple myeloma in clinical disease and there is no specific number. The current medical model, more specifically the development of various disciplines, many doctors are more and more like the "experts", in addition to their subjects, the other largely unknown, so the patient was removed often occur in many hospitals, a number of departments , after twists and turns before the final diagnosis of the situation. Therefore, it was joked that the best experts are the top three hospital triage nurses station, because she was assigned to patients based on symptoms appropriate sections. In fact, nurse triage station to some extent assumed the part of the role of general practitioners. Community doctors do not need to be the treatment of multiple myeloma such difficult cases, but the knowledge of these diseases should be some control, encountered such a patient can properly guide them to a hospital hematology clinic. This also shows that general practitioners should be a good "gatekeeper", requires a fairly high quality.
It is understood that the international system is established general practitioners have been for centuries. According to the medical headquarters in the United States, the world s leading medical, nursing and pharmacy students and professionals in the field of information services provided by the publisher – the medical profession and the Ministry of Education, Wolters Kluwer, President and CEO, Ms. Susan Zhuo Sike introduction, a large U.S. specialty hospitals do not receive patients without an appointment, patients generally look at general practitioners or family doctors, most problems can be resolved community hospitals or private clinics. Can not be resolved before opening the patient to a specialist referral single large hospital. In the U.S., general practitioners and specialists in training, technical level, income is not much difference. Medical students after "4 + 4 years of undergraduate medical" study, based on their personality, strengths and preferences choose to do is to do a specialist or general practitioner, and then were 3 to 4 years of hospital training.
However, our GP system has just started recently, only general practitioners across the country and 7.8 million physician assistant, and the overall low degree. China GP on both the quantity and quality can not meet the needs of urban and rural primary health care services. In response, Health Minister Chen Zhu said the establishment of a GP system, the primary task is training of personnel. This requires the existing education and training, practice patterns, and other incentives to transform the system to adapt to changing trends in disease spectrum to meet public health needs.
The "guidance" proposed the establishment of a GP system, the overall objective, namely, in 2020, initially established in our country is full of vigor and vitality of the GP system, the basic formation of a unified and standard training model and general practitioners first diagnosed at the grassroots level "approach, general practitioners and rural residents basic services to establish a relatively stable relationship between the rural and urban per 10,000 inhabitants in 2 to 3 qualified general practitioner, general practitioner services, overall improvement, the basic meet people s basic health needs.
Force training
Under the "guidance" proposed targets, the country should be 27 million to 410 thousand high-quality general practitioner. Chen Zhu pointed out that the deepening medical and health system in the current work, the training of general practitioners is a critical job. Government decided this year launched a nationwide standardized general practitioner training.
National Development and Reform Commission deputy director, Office of the State Council Medical Reform in the receiving media director Sun Zhigang stressed that China s system of training general practitioners can not simply copy the practices of other countries, because the social and economic development, health system, medical education system are are different.
International experience, from our reality, "guidance" to define the general practitioner of the "5 +3" training mode: the first 5 years clinical undergraduate education, graduate after three years need to standardize training general practitioners, by national qualification examination to obtain qualification to become a qualified general practitioner.
Ministry of Health, General Medicine Training Center Aimin, deputy director, said the general practitioner s training methods different from other specialists, such as physicians in training as long as the three departments in a medical rotation, disease control medical treatment, and general doctor s training is included, outside, women, children and other two sections of rotation, but also to practice in the community base, a broader knowledge of learning, more exposure to the number of diseases.
It is understood that, as of 2011, the country has opened nearly 130 institutions of higher learning clinical medicine undergraduate education, about half (63) opened a general medical institutions, courses, of which only 28 will set the general medicine compulsory or elective courses, 12 community colleges to carry out the internship program. This one, set up to recruit institutions of general medical students only Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Capital Medical University, several colleges and universities.
As the general practitioner services in all gender, age, occupation of the patient, therefore, require them to have a wide knowledge of medicine, higher overall quality, but even experienced general practitioner will encounter unfamiliar disease Therefore, in addition to school education, either general practitioners or specialists, are the need for lifelong learning.
In the United States, some education, information providers to the general practitioner deeply involved in the cultivation. Ms. Susan Zhuo Sike said that general practitioners need high-quality long-term accumulation of training and clinical practice. Welcome to the United States GP that short-term, practical help for clinical training, it is best to learn while using. Wolters Kluwer Health published the "5-minute Clinical Practice advice" such books on the desk to become general practitioners must a good helper. In addition, Wolters Kluwer Health has launched a network version, the doctor can easily check by smart phones. Wolters Kluwer Health and the American Academy of Family Physicians cooperation, the doctor can be obtained by querying the study records and continuing education credits.
See China in promoting the establishment of a GP system s efforts, Veeco also increased efforts to expand business in China. Ms. Zhuo Sike, Wolters Kluwer will accelerate the introduction of general practitioner needs for the Chinese products.
China built the world s largest medical insurance system covers more than 12 million people
Up to now, China s basic medical insurance system covers more than 1.25 billion population, to become the world s largest health care system.
Ministry of Health, Medical and Health Services Supervision Division Zong for a long time here at the hospital cross-strait forum (2011) introduced since 1997, the Chinese government to increase the intensity of the medical security system, basic health care system, a breakthrough.
Statistics show that in 2010 the new rural cooperative medical care the number of participants has reached 835 million, accounting for 96.3 percent of the total rural population, urban basic medical insurance and basic medical insurance for urban residents, the number of people insured and 234 million respectively 187 million people, has three basic medical insurance system covers more than 93% of the population of the mainland.
At the same time, when medical assistance is also the year 39,840,000 passengers, medical aid spending 6.55 billion yuan.
Up to now, mainland China has basically completed the basic medical insurance, basic medical insurance for urban residents, the new rural cooperative medical care as the main underpinning of medical aid, the civil service benefits, corporate supplementary insurance, special populations, commercial insurance to supplement the health insurance system .
According to reports, in 2010, China s total health cost of 1.96 trillion yuan, accounting for 5.28% of GDP. To measure the statistics of 2009, government and community health expenditures were accounted for when total health expenditure constituted 27.5% and 35.1%.
Do not let the refurbished medical equipment equivalent to counterfeit products
.jpg "resorbable sutures")
Hospital B used in medical X-ray camera system is purchased from C manufacturers. C equipment manufacturers in sales to hospitals when the plant\\ s \"medical device Manufacturing Enterprise License\" and the product registration certificate.
Drug Bureau found that this medical X-ray camera system parts label shows that the equipment manufactured by the D (D Company is a well-known foreign enterprises), but the machine label for manufacturers to C factory. After careful check inspectors found that the whole tab there is a label be blocked, so the whole surface of the label in the strip, exposing the label display: It is D company made in January 2005. It is understood, D company in China has made medical X-ray camera system product registration certificate. The original manufacturer of the device is the use of recycled C used refurbished medical X-ray camera system made.
Refurbished used medical X-ray camera system, and as a new machine for sale, the legality of such equipment, inspectors opinions were divided:
The first one considered legitimate on the grounds that: C factory is holding \"Medical Device Manufacturing Enterprise License\" legitimate manufacturers, and medical X-ray camera system with a product registration certificate, the production of medical X-ray camera system is legal. Production of medical equipment does not require each component by their own production, the use of his plant\\ s parts production equipment and reasonable, legitimate, so this device illegal.
The second view, this device should be classified as non-medical device product registration certificate. Renovation of equipment reliability, security will be affected, although the manufacturer can use his plant components production of medical equipment, but it does not mean that manufacturers can recycle used medical equipment assembly, refurbished medical equipment, medical equipment so that No product should be classified as a certificate of registration of medical devices.
[Thinking]
Strengthen norms imminent
The need for competition in the market, large-scale comprehensive health care institutions must update certain medical devices, and updated the old how to deal with medical devices has become an unavoidable issue. Some second-hand medical equipment to re-enter the circulation, many of which are being renovated into medical institutions.
In the United States and Europe, 20% of medical imaging equipment recycling equipment, refurbished equipment with good quality and low prices to win users. European and American countries are completely re-emphasized that in full accordance with radiation, electronic medical and health information technology industry Coordinating Committee for Europe (COCIR) GRP re-specification medical equipment refurbished, refurbished equipment to ensure quality and consistent standards and new equipment.
Refurbished medical equipment first used to solve the small medical CT, MRI and other large equipment problems, help for the majority of people to provide quality treatment services. Second, you can save social resources, environmentally friendly and energy saving. But in China, based on the absence of regulation and effective supervision, \"refurbished medical equipment,\" even became synonymous with counterfeit medical equipment, refurbished medical equipment for general patients the efficacy and safety, there are doubts, therefore, refurbished medical equipment to enhance specification imminent.
Renovation of the production behavior of the assembly
State Food and Drug Administration in 2005, \"and then refurbished medical equipment supervision and management regulations (draft)\" to \"refurbished medical equipment\" is defined as: \"has been used by the original manufacturers or companies commissioned to recover, refurbish again after the sale and use of medical devices. \"At the same time clear,\" refurbished medical equipment refers to the recovery of medical devices after use, to register the product to reach the standards of its maintenance, parts replacement, debugging, calibration, cleaning, disinfecting, exterior renovation, inspection, replacement, upgrade or software production activities. \"
\"Renovation and then provides supervision and management of medical devices (draft)\" and then on the refurbished medical equipment to make a lot of useful regulatory requirements, but the \"rule\" has not yet been introduced, can not play in regulating the renovation of its medical devices and then act in the role.
In 2005, the State Food and Drug Administration \"on the Shanghai Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. Narita refurbished medical equipment assembly approved the deal with the problem\" in the clear, refurbished medical equipment is a production assembly behavior, the need for \"Medical Device Manufacturing Enterprise License\" refurbished assembly medical devices must obtain a registration certificate. This approval to contain a number of enterprises refurbished used medical equipment recycling act, effective protection of the safe and effective medical devices.
Sub-case processing
This case, C Company holds a \"Medical Device Manufacturing Enterprise License\", with a medical X-ray camera system registration certificate, it seems that the use of recycled secondary renovation of medical X-ray camera system assembling the new machine\\ s behavior is legitimate, but in this case specific conditions that should be.
\"Renovation and then provides supervision and management of medical devices (draft)\" Article 21 stipulates: \"… meet the\" Medical Device Registration \"Article 52 provides for renovation and then medical devices, including the renovation of the upgrades, changes in medical equipment, with the original product with the same medical device registration certificate, without a separate registration. refurbishment to upgrade, change, medical devices, no longer meet the \"Medical Device Registration\" Article 52, the original medical device manufacturers should be \"Medical Device Registration\" requirement for the corresponding product registration. \"
\"Medical Device Registration\" article 52 \"means the registered products were registered, medical device and its instruction manual, labels, packaging and labeling and other relevant content with the limited medical registration certificate consistent product.\" Case, if the renovation of medical X-ray camera system structure and composition of the main performance, implementation of standards, content and C Company held by the registration certificate does not match, no product should be identified as a certificate of registration of medical devices. If the refurbished medical X-ray camera system are in line with C Company of the contents of the product registration certificate held by the limit, then the buyer should be informed in the sales of the truth. The existing laws and regulations related to medical devices does not prohibit the recovery of two mobile phone manufacturer with refurbished medical equipment, it can not be characterized as non-medical device product registration certificate. However, the pharmaceutical sector should strengthen supervision and management of such medical devices, increase testing efforts to ensure that people with firearms safety.
2015 will exceed 340 billion yuan invested in China Yi Xie
General advice has not yet released the 2011 China medical device Industry Analysis and Development Forecast Report. The report notes that \"five-second\" period, China\\ s medical device industry, there is a big space for development, that in 2015 China\\ s entire medical instruments and equipment market is expected to double, reaching $ 53.7 billion, the Chinese medical device industry compound annual growth rate maintained at 20% to 30%, industry has great potential.
It is still common consulting analyst forecasts, to the \"second five\" at the end, that in 2015 China\\ s entire medical instruments and equipment market is expected to double, reaching $ 53.7 billion, the Chinese medical device industry compound annual growth rate will remain at 20% to 30%, industry has great potential. For example, he shows that \"the current county-level hospitals and township hospitals 80,000 more than the equipment purchase, renovation, replacement demand a huge gap.\"
Investment in Securities believes that China\\ s medical device market share of total pharmaceutical market size of 14% and 42% far from the global level; devices with global per capita consumption level, China has five to six times the room for improvement; of health care expenses as a percentage about 5% of GDP, well below the U.S. 16%; upgrade aging ﹑ consumption and government investment in long-term support for the medical device industry.
June 13, 2011 issued by the Ministry of Health in April 2011 and a quarter of medical services, the data show that the industry is running well, the construction of clinic visits and health institutions are to maintain stable growth, industry growth trends to determine; according to data released by the Ministry of Health, January to April 2011, total national health agency clinic visits over 1.867 billion people, an increase of 10.25%.
Qilu Securities pointed out that the overall valuation of pharmaceutical stocks has been lower than the average level since 2004, according to forecast earnings for the calculation of the current valuation of 25 times the pharmaceutical sector, which of the drug 22 times PE, medicine and biology 28 times PE, medical devices 23 times PE, and the current valuation of pharmaceutical stocks in the bottom of the Opening of the best time, proposes a focus on heavy volume and has a primary benefit of exclusive varieties Tasly, donkey-hide gelatin, Yunnanbaiyao, SL Pharmaceutical and medical benefit Xinhua medical institution-building, diving medical
Meanwhile, Minsheng Securities also pointed out that 2011 is the new medical reform to achieve milestones of the year ending 2011, the new health reform requires a comprehensive basic medical insurance system covering urban and rural residents, the initial establishment of the basic drug system, urban and rural primary care health service system further improved, basic public health services have been popular, reform of public hospitals to achieve a breakthrough, significantly improve the basic health services accessibility, cost effective medical treatment to reduce the burden on residents. From the new medical reform scheduled completion date, less than 5 months. Speed ??and tackling, a \"wrap up\" before the two key words. As the new medical reform will soon ending, the recent medical reform movements are frequent throughout. Medical industry is a positive change. They believe that participation in health care information technology companies will be a huge market opportunity, the recommended companies include: Wei-ning software, Wanda information, easy to Lianzhong, and recommended that attention Neusoft Group, Silver River shares, UF software.
Regional health status and problems of information technology
1, operation and management
Regional health information technology is the most important overall planning. Part of the medical information technology in a good area, the basic unit of information technology has been put in place, and be able to support their daily business needs, but if the business beyond the unit, the data and information transfer and sharing can not be reached. According to this trend, is bound to repeat the infrastructure investment in regional health information technology could not bear to spend time and manpower on an overall plan, in the end will be the cost and poor.
2, sustainable development
As a result of the imbalance in regional economic development, health care level of development, speed and goals are inconsistent. Therefore, the construction of medical information throughout the area of ??hardware, software, human, material and financial resources there is a different problem, in general, still need to strengthen awareness of information services, information services environment to be improved, the lack of overall information system planning, consulting, supervision services market still needs development.
3, Application Performance
Referral process of information sharing and mutual recognition mechanism, medical information flow within the region and sharing, regional development and utilization of information resources and other issues are near or far to affect the regional medical information the next step forward. China in recent years, regional health information despite some success, but there is a lack of unified planning, development is uneven; public health, health surveillance, health services, health management information silos and other areas is serious, it is difficult to achieve interoperability, information sharing.
4, business support
From the application of information and business support perspective, the first information technology-based small amount; Second, the quality is not high, due to lack of planning and management, information technology is difficult to achieve the desired height; third medical information across all units uneven distribution of information technology; fourth degree of resource sharing is not enough. Due to fragmentation, different areas, different regions, different systems of public services, lack of resources, sharing of long-term effective mechanism, resulting in the functional structure is irrational, the uneven geographical distribution, the low efficiency of resource allocation.
5, the technical architecture
From a technical architecture point of view, the following problems: First, the lack of comprehensive information technology standards, including standard identifiers, communications technology, standards, content and structure of standards and codes related to data standards; second, the expansion of the lack of breadth, depth the extension; Third, the data resources division, can not achieve the share; fourth, the need of scientific and effective security, information management mechanism to ensure information security in the premise, to achieve the greatest degree of information sharing.
Benefiting the first half of our Medicaid spending 5.07 billion
Medical assistance to ease the public health burden of living, the government of the people is reflected in the care of people s livelihood. I believe that the cause of the medical assistance of how, in large part to reflect a country s level of development, or is their position in this country where placed. This paper briefly describes the recent days of China s medical assistance in the relevant circumstances.
Ill medical assistance is relying on urban residents (workers) of the basic medical insurance and new rural cooperative medical billing platform, capital investment, the service platform sharing, information sharing, synchronous settlement payment, management and operation specifications, rescue effect is obvious, that the poor people to provide fast service, covering urban and rural areas, a new scientific and standardized system of medical assistance. Including rural five of its aid target object, towns are unable to work, no income, no statutory dependents age support staff, Ministry of Civil Affairs on a regular basis to enjoy the benefits of quantitative living retired workers, etc. to streamline the 1960s.
Standards of urban and rural medical assistance is aid by the county to develop according to their economic situation, which will inevitably be different standards of relief. Implementation of local management of urban and rural medical assistance, including urban and rural low relief objects objects, rural five-guarantee objects, urban and rural people with severe disabilities, urban low-income seniors and so on.
So let s look at what the medical aid around the how.
First, Yichang: the proportion of poor people on Medicaid to 50%
August 8, Yichang Municipal Finance Bureau jointly with the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued a "city on the appropriate adjustments to the relevant social assistance policy," which will Yichang city medical assistance percentage of urban and rural poor people to 50%, and provides for urban and rural low Yichang City objects, rural five-guarantee objects, poor special assistance, the difficulties low-income urban families and other objects by the City District Government to grant aid of objects, increase the proportion of hospital pays the cost relief to 50%, capping line 6000 yuan; special needy people a relief can enjoy two years, the maximum amount of aid to 1.2 million.
In addition, the notice also implemented a classification of urban residents relief, where the object is to protect the town of "three no" object, in full security implemented on the basis of guaranteeing payment of additional per person per month 200; of serious illness, severe handicapped persons, or their children are receiving compulsory education and the affordability of tuition significantly more than the family, as well as husband and wife to support dual-old laid-off and independent non-income elderly household objects and other special problems of its own fixed additional temporary grants.
Second, given the West: "five in one" medical assistance mode PWM
This year, Dingxi city to seriously implement the urban and rural medical assistance and temporary assistance policies, and actively explore the "Participating insured, hospital assistance, illness relief, aid and charity aid clinic" medical assistance mode, standard rescue procedures and increasing the relief efforts to enhance aid the effect. In the first half, a total of 3.43 million yuan of funds urban and rural temporary relief, aid rural poor people 7147 (times); distribution of urban and rural medical assistance funds allocated 41.09 million yuan, helping urban and rural poor people 35 454 persons (times). At the same time, launched the "poor families with congenital heart disease medical assistance activities", Paimo reported the first 205 heart patients, surgery 63 eligible, 52 have completed surgery; present, the "women s health care aid poor families two cancer affected women activities are also being orderly manner.
Third, Qiqihar: 31 million poor medical aid group "zero time"
Qiqihar City, past medical assistance, not only by disease restrictions by major diseases, and hospital medical expenses incurred after the urban residents by the new rural cooperative medical insurance or the cost of medical claims must start with individuals after the advance, after discharge, with relevant documents and materials to the residence area of ??the community (village) for medical assistance, the district offices (township people s government) and the regional civil affairs department and approval, to be able to meet aid conditions, access to medical aid.
In accordance with past procedure, applications for medical aid relief objects in the entire process takes about three months, to rescue the object a lot of inconvenience.
July 31, Qiqihar City, urban and rural medical assistance "one stop" real-time settlement patterns within the city limits was the first test run. Implementation of urban and rural medical assistance stop real-time settlement, the abolition of restrictions disease hospitalization assistance, changing layers with documents submitted, the approval of the centralized approach, which greatly simplifies the application approval process aid for rescue object to provide a more convenient and efficient medical assistance services.
Other regions, Hubei, Fukang, Chengdu, Anhui, are also frequently came Herald, for everywhere the masses in a positive medical life and work.
In view of the cause of medical care around the country to be so in full swing, our first half of the country s medical care situation is bound to be some good scenes. Recently, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued "Civil Affairs Statistics Quarterly (2011 Q2)." "Quarterly Report" shows that the first half of this year, China s urban medical assistance expenditures of 15.8 billion yuan, rural medical aid expenses 34.9 billion, total expenditure of urban and rural medical assistance 50.7 billion. "Quarterly Bulletin", this year s January to June, China s urban medical assistance 2.144 million people, the civil affairs departments to participate in Medicare funding are 7.687 million people; 4.739 million people in rural medical assistance, civil affairs departments to participate in funding cooperative medical 25,870,000 passengers. In the first half, China s actual expenditures for the District operating expenses 106.9 billion yuan.
Bio chip experience blitz
China s bio-chip companies are entering the ranks of international leaders, has more than 500 kinds of bio-chips and related products come out, mainly for the detection of autoimmune diseases, pathogenic microorganisms detection, food safety testing, hla typing test (bone marrow typing) and health screening.
The next five years, biochip in clinical testing, bio-safety testing, import and export quarantine testing, forensic, health screening and other areas of the prospects of getting better. By 2010, the global biochip market value will reach $ 4.2 billion.
"2006 International Bio – Nano – information fusion Conference and International Forum on Biochip Technology," October 12, closed in Beijing. The latest information indicates that the meeting revealed -
14.1% average annual growth of international
On bio-chip technology is in the life sciences since the 1990s and developed rapidly in the field of high-tech. It is the reduction of biochemical analyzer, obtained by micro-processing chip micron-sized structures and biochemical treatment combined with the thousands of life-related information integration in the 1 cm square chip to achieve the cell, protein, dna and other biological components of an accurate, rapid, large amount of information detection. At present, bio-chip applications covering biology, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, environmental protection, forensics, biotechnology, health sciences and all other areas.
Genetics with the bio-chip pharmacological and pharmacological Genomics Institute, the world s drug market involved about $ 180 billion annually. According to statistics, in 2005 the output value of global bio-chip is about $ 2.3 billion. Among them, the market value of approximately U.S. $ 1.58 billion, the China market value of about 4.1 billion yuan, of which the output value associated with the health examination about 1.8 billion yuan. By 2010, the global biochip market value will reach 4.2 billion U.S. dollars, annual average growth rate of about 14.1%.
At present, China s relevant agencies ongoing study of protein chips in order to produce the sensitivity and specificity, and fixed a lot of activity in a variety of new protein chip. In the 21st century, this technology would not only early diagnosis and treatment of diseases have a tremendous role in promoting monitoring, and environmental protection, food safety, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry and other fields also have broad prospects for development.
Multinational companies for drug screening
In recent years, bio-chip technology has become an international biotechnology research and development of hot spots. Gene chips, protein chips, cell chips, tissue chips of the older, more mature technologies have been widely applied micro-array chip, microfluidics and other technologies are mature and begin to be applied in various fields.
As the bio-chip technology has great commercial value and prospects, the United States, Britain and other developed countries are increasing investment in research.
The United States in the global bio-chip research and development and long-term dominant. December 27, 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the world s first company to Roche Diagnostics dna chips and accompanying affymetix company s microarray scanner access permit issued by a medical diagnosis. In the detection of infectious diseases, affymetrix with bioMerieux, France, jointly developed with the microbiological testing related gene chips, in recent years may be declared to the fda.
Almost all of the world s multinational pharmaceutical companies have invested heavily in the use of gene chips to carry out high-throughput screening of new drugs and pharmacological genetics, pharmacology genomics research. Many important international bio-chip multinational companies promising market prospects, have increased.
China has 356 patents
China is the world s first approved to enter clinical microarray country than the United States nearly three years earlier. At present, China has more than 500 kinds of bio-chip and related products available, from 2002 to 2005, cumulative sales of bio-chip nearly 250 million yuan, more than 10 chips or related products to achieve industrial production, Beijing and Shanghai National Engineering Research Center to become the industry leader, Tianjin, Xi an, Nanjing and other places nearly 50 bio-chip R & D institutions and more than 30 bio-chip companies to flourish.
Biochip National Engineering Research Center in Beijing gene chips, protein chips, cell chips and microfluidic chip technology research has been reached or exceeded international standards. For example, the development of autoimmune disease detection, detection of pathogenic micro-organisms, food safety testing, hla typing test (bone marrow typing), health screening and other closely related with the national health-based chip technology, many applications have been developed ahead of the West . It is understood that Beijing Biochip National Engineering Research Center has five products to international markets, including confocal laser scanner to Europe, America, Korea and other regions of the export orders have reached one hundred sets of class size, to achieve our original life science instruments first exit, marking China s bio-chip companies into the ranks of international leaders.
Experts believe that the clinical detection of low-density microarray chips will be the entry point into the clinic. In the future, more sophisticated biochip products from the laboratory into routine clinical testing, clinicians can make use of bio-chip technology to achieve early diagnosis of many diseases and individualized diagnosis and treatment.
"15" period, China s biochip research were 356 domestic patent applications, foreign patents 62. Ministry of Science and major projects, "functional genomics and bio-chips" in the bio-chip research team in the international authority of the journals published nearly 20 articles, reporting with independent intellectual property rights and infectious diseases and tumor-related marker genes and new gene cluster 753, and some of the functions of genes and proteins to carry out a study to obtain, such as viruses, bacterial infections and cancer diagnosis and treatment of the marker gene (cluster) and targeted sirna molecules and a number of important results.

At present the common bio-chip is divided into three categories: first class for the micro-array chip, including gene chips, protein chips, cell chips and tissue microarray. The second category of microfluidic chips, including various types of chip sample preparation, chromatography and capillary electrophoresis chip chips. The third category is the bio-chip based analysis systems or integrated chip, said laboratory. It also includes associated equipment and facilities. Biochip with miniaturization, integration, parallelization, and automation features.
In micro-array chips, China has developed a hepatitis virus detection chip, respiratory pathogens detection chip, sexually transmitted disease pathogens detection chip. In addition, genetic disease diagnosis chip, chip, tumor assessment, cardiovascular disease diagnosis chip is being developed. Part of the tissue microarray products have started to medical research services.
In microfluidic chips, Zhejiang University, Nanjing University and other units have been actively developing, especially in the capillary electrophoresis chips gratifying achievements. In biochip related instrumentation, less domestic R & D units, most dependent on imports.
China still a gap with the developed countries involved in discipline
Recently, the First Affiliated Hospital of Peking University, director of the cath lab, Professor Fok Yong, who held a news conference to announce the Tenth National Interventional Cardiology Forum is scheduled for April 18, 2007 – 22 was held in Harbin.
Huo Yong, Professor at the meeting stressed that, although the absolute number of cases in our country has been involved in the world top three, but the study concluded with the developed countries still have gaps. Involved in the forum held one focus is to promote the progress of work in this area.
It is understood that the 2007 National Forum will be the first interventional cardiology with the Chinese Medical Association to determine the relationship of cooperation, the Chinese director Xie Qilin Medical Association members attended the conference and congratulated.
National Forum on Interventional Cardiology held in 1997, was originally developed by the industry spontaneous, in order to facilitate the involvement of doctors to pass on and share their experience of a small forum. Heart Hospital of Wuhan Medical University, Zhu Guoying introduction, after a decade of persistence and development, the Forum has played very well involved in the popularization of knowledge, self-cultivation, the role of the exchange experience. China s medical institutions, the cath lab from the nineties of the last century, dozens to the current 745. In terms of hardware or software, have made considerable progress.
Anzhen Hospital Director of Cardiology, Professor Ma Changsheng that the National Forum on interventional cardiology almost witnessed the development process of our areas of intervention. China s current number of interventional procedures has been ranked in the top three, followed by the United States and Japan. And for the interventional treatment of congenital heart disease, it is our position in the world. He believes that doctors join the Association will greatly enhance the level of physician involvement and progress control. National Interventional Cardiology Forum will also continue to lead the disciplines involved in the development of China s development of heart disease.
Wireless sensing smart underwear targeting silver market
U.S. researchers are developing high-tech fabrics made of "smart underwear." This special underwear for the elderly, real-time monitoring of the wearer s heart rate and other physical data, such as found in an emergency situation will be reported immediately.
According to Perth, Australia to participate in the seminar organized by the elderly care experts, the "smart underwear" is used in wireless sensor features a special fiber, their technology is evolving, a few years, this lingerie can even automatically to the elderly heart attack first aid.
The researchers pointed out that in Europe and America, with World War II "baby boom" generation gradually into old age, elderly care in application of new technologies is increasingly common. In addition to emergency functions other than underwear, a function of the elderly care market is also useful commodities, such as the time to sit down and rest will remind socks, shoes, etc. to prevent falls.
