Chinese medical information: blindly choose foreign goods?
Since 2009, \"CP Central State Council on Deepening the views of medical and health system,\" after the introduction of China\\ s health care information technology started. The end of 2010, the Ministry of Finance added 11.9 billion yuan of special funds to support health reform, including 2.7 billion yuan for the medical information directly used for the construction, re-speed Chinese medical information technology.
In 2011, the medical information industry has become China\\ s informatization construction of the hot items. Strong policy and financial investment, hardware and software vendors to follow up, local government information technology progressed … … has become a global hot spot of medical information in China also carried out in full swing. At the same time, medical information technology as China deepens, some of the problems with Chinese characteristics and needs also will gradually emerge, it is common to think the entire industry.
Can simply \"get in.\"?
U.S. achievements in the field of medical information worldwide attention, Google, Microsoft, Intel and IBM and other companies in the medical information technology solutions for innovation, so that health care information technology application and value can be fully demonstrated. However, unlike in developed countries medical information system infrastructure and the corresponding improvement compared to earlier, construction of China\\ s current medical information during a major problem is how effective the medical information model and the traditional medical model of the relative access, the not subvert the premise of the current model to improve efficiency, reduce operational costs.
At present, China\\ s enterprises have already started with some well-known medical information technology with Chinese characteristics, hardware and software solution development, the only way, rather than simply \"take in.\" can be able to meet the Chinese medical institutions at all levels of operation of information technology needs. It is understood, the leading brand in the domestic software industry has started working Neusoft prevention and control of chronic diseases, effective information platform, which has just won the bid, Xinjiang, Hunan and Gansu Health Department computer project on the same side, also expressed as the medical information information technology in education, the need for customized solutions point of view. Side computer business with Mr. Zhang Wei, head, said: \"Successful procurement projects around the Health Department, with parties able to bring a wealth of implementation experience in the computer, which will help us further improve and accelerate health information technology solutions, innovation and development . \"
Are blindly selected foreign goods?
Throughout China\\ s various types of procurement, whether it is government, education or medical care and other industries, have appeared purchasing foreign goods occupy the mainstream phenomenon. The medical industry, regardless of who is also the responsibility of major medical equipment, or printers and other office accessories, dry goods are flooding into the procurement in the medical industry. Specific to the construction of China\\ s medical information in a computer as the main information technology procurement, how to play the role of foreign goods in turn?
In fact, both the medical information or other industries such as education, information technology, have been showing a tilt to the procurement of the phenomenon of domestic products, the reason to remove the above mentioned characteristics of localized solutions, the domestic products of computer products in cost-effective, stable With the advantage of the information technology in various industries in a wide range of applications has been favorable. More importantly, China\\ s information technology still in its infancy, the service is to ensure timely and effective application of information technology to effectively carry out the core elements. Mr. Zhang Wei, said: \"computer is very concerned with the side of the service for medical users, we propose the concept of active service, that is, active-site training, inspection and other services active on a regular basis, to maximize the protection of the stability of the application of information technology users.\"
Health care purchasing is the time?
Policy guidance, financial support, hardware and software vendors actively involved in China\\ s health care information technology has entered the era of a leap forward at full speed. In addition, the Chinese government from the traditional model to the existing bulk supply agreement procurement changes will further standardize the procurement of systems and processes to ensure China\\ s smooth implementation of medical information.
Mode in the bulk purchases to the same side as the representative of the local computer brands, will usher in a major development opportunity, with foreign brands have tremendous cost advantages compared to the premise, based on a better understanding of China\\ s domestic brands the medical industry innovative solutions to the status quo, and combined with the actual needs of China\\ s medical industry services system, will make them better access to medical users of all ages and recognition.
In 2011, the new medical reform for the completion of the year, which indicates that China\\ s medical reform ending the war broke out, but also marks its about to enter a new stage of development, both for the Chinese medical information solution, or a combination of innovative information products, and even more close to the actual needs of China\\ s medical industry services, will undoubtedly improve the hospital\\ s operating efficiency, and rational allocation of medical resources through other means, really ease the \"difficult and expensive \"and other core issues.
Chinese medical market to invest in new hot spot
Although it pry open the Chinese market may be challenging, but active in the Chinese medical device industry, foreign plastic companies believe that their own unique advantages, that is, the global medical device industry has strict quality requirements of depth and comprehensive understanding.
There are a number of plastics companies in Europe and North America in the near future in Shanghai at the China International Medical Equipment Design and Technology Exhibition (Medtec China) announced a new investment plan in China to keep up with what they call cross-border medical device manufacturers China\\ s growing expansion of production scale.
In this industry, as a competitor molding Chinese enterprises and other local processing enterprises also have sprung up everywhere, while the global medical device industry growing interest of China, on the one hand want to use here the production cost advantages, while also supply the growing domestic market.
But quality concerns – such as improper management led to 40 deaths in Wenzhou serious motor car accident, or melamine tainted milk – is known for the quality of foreign suppliers to open the door, at least on the feedback received from the exhibition to look like this.
German medical molders Gerresheim (Gerresheimer Regensburg GmbH) company said, at least every month there is a Chinese medical device or pharmaceutical manufacturer to find what they built factories in southern China, out of China\\ s domestic production of inhalers or the German company also produced a number of other medical equipment, ask them to help \"optimize\" these problems in the performance of the product.
Gerresheim Plastic Products (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. StephanePianigiani said, some of which appear to be the company\\ s medical device designed to do reverse engineering, even though these Chinese companies are always claiming that they themselves designed.
He bluntly told the callers, \"optimize\" the design of other companies are not the company make money.
But Pianigiani said, he held a special meeting to explain their point of view, make them aware of the global medical industry, the comprehensive process control, strict procedures and make a record and to optimize the use of good equipment is equally important.
He said, asked him to help some of the companies do not understand that \"they can not just casually made a factory, bought the equipment will be able to produce quality products of\" the truth.
Pianigiani said: \"They still do not realize that the problem does not lie in injection molding production and clean room, but rather the production process.\" He believes in strict accordance with the production process is the production of safe medical products lies. \"If the dose of insulin pen less than 10% of patients may lead to death.\"
U.S. molder Tessy PlasticsCorp.\\ s Shanghai plant engineering manager Tom Fang, also holds the same view, he said, when asked Chinese companies are able to produce some kind of injection molder of medical components and medical devices, they are usually most concerned about is price.
Fang said: \"They will say, \\ This component is very simple, why do you offer so high?\\ They do not know what we do out of the price, including documentation to track the problem and ensure good production costs.\" Tessy corporate headquarters in the United States, New York Elbridge.
Fang said that the first cross-border healthcare customers are most concerned about the production process.
China manufacturer of medical catheters Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. Beijing Dunlop has been in the United States to participate in a variety of medical equipment exhibition in North America are now looking for marketing partners.
The Beijing company\\ s international sales and marketing department of marketing manager LeonRein, but they found that Chinese products to get rid of the negative image of the accumulated long-term is not easy. He said: \"To be honest, to persuade doctors to buy U.S. medical products in China is not easy.\"
This company has 700 people in just two years ago established the International Marketing Department. Now, the company has 10% of its sales from overseas, including exports to the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and India and other Asian markets, and the Middle East and Latin America.
Headquartered in Avon Lake, Ohio, USA, PolyOne Corp.\\ s Medical director of marketing LarryJohnson said that although the current export volume is small, but the production of these minimally invasive medical devices such as catheters Chinese companies are technology has made rapid progress.
Johnson said: \"Several years ago, [Chinese] companies never part with extrusion catheter material, but now has changed and now this part of the production begins to exceed the number of local enterprises in North America business.\"
He said the Chinese government plans to spend $ 120 billion in 2020 to achieve universal health insurance, which will promote China\\ s domestic medical device industry.
Dunlop\\ s Rein also agree that the Chinese government\\ s plan will help them greatly, because it means the government will increase its 90% state-owned nature of the hospital system\\ s inputs.
Masterbatch producer Clariant International Ltd, the global medical and pharmaceutical business leader Stephen Duckwort said that China\\ s demand for medical material is very considerable, partly because of the needs of companies want to upgrade the other hand, the government also took great efforts to solve quality problems.
He said: \"The Chinese government is very sensitive to the quality of the event, is now trying to put pressure in terms of quality.\" But in his view, the quality is shared by all countries, criticized the quality of Chinese products may be too exaggerated.
Interviewed a number of companies have said that China\\ s State Food and Drug Administration in recent years to further strengthen the regulatory and quality requirements. The former director of the Food and Drug Administration in 2007 for accepting bribes was sentenced to death.
Headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois, USA molders UPG Inc.\\ s Vice president of international operations in Suzhou, China, President Thomas Opielowski UPG said that China\\ s growing consumer demand for health care to promote quality improvement has become a an important driving force, but the market is still very price-oriented.
He said: \"From the UPG\\ s point of view, our approach is always the price on the market with its first major trend is not consistent, [and] some of our customers like us.\" However, according to he expected in the next five years, the market will focus from price to other areas.
Global challenge of diabetes increased to 366 million worldwide health care system
Experts said on Tuesday the current global diabetes has increased 366 million people, one person every seven seconds died of diabetes, diabetes has taken on global health care system constitutes a "great challenge."
Most of them belong to type 2 diabetes, which is poor diet, obesity and lack of exercise related. With the growing acceptance of the developing countries of Western lifestyle, diabetes, problems spread rapidly.
Patients with diabetes lack the ability to control blood sugar, or lead to serious complications such as heart disease and stroke, kidney or nerve damage of, or cause blindness. Currently the number of people with diabetes worldwide die each year from 4.6 million.
Diabetes top medical experts in Lisbon at the European Society of Diabetes (EASD) released the latest data, emphasis on a United Nations meeting next week, Governments should take urgent action.
19-20 September, New York will hold high-level United Nations meeting to discuss what action to take to deal with diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) increasingly serious problem. This is the United Nations AIDS conference held in 2001, the second time to disease as the main topic at the meeting.
Spread and the cost of diabetes to the latest data published in the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) of the Definitive Guide "DiabetesAtlas"
Medical device market over the past five years, four major changes
Over the past five years, the global medical device market has four major changes: First, the medical device market oligopoly situation led more and more obvious; Second, digital technology in the promotion and application of medical devices in the rapid development; Third, the medical device market growth rate significantly higher than the pharmaceutical market; Fourth, medical device and drug combination was more closely.
Oligopolistic dominance even more obvious
And China\\ s medical device industry \"and more, small, scattered,\" the situation is different from the medical device industry in developed countries has become obvious \"oligarchy\" situation, while the global medical device market also showed a similar pattern.
According to the European Medical Device Industry Association statistics, at present, 25 medical device company\\ s sales (70% of companies headquartered in the United States) together accounted for global medical device market more than 60% of total sales. This 25 medical device companies in terms of sales orders are: 1. Johnson & Johnson; 2 general medical care; 3 Siemens; 4 Medtronic; 5 Baxter device company; 6.Covidien company; 7 fly Philips company; 8 Boston Scientific Corporation; 9 Roche 10.Box company; 11 Albert Company; 12.Stryker company; 13.Cardinal health companies; 14 Olympus; 15. 3M Company ; 16.Zimmer Holdings Corporation; 17. St.Jude company; 18.SNN company; 19 Beckman; 20.Synthes company; 21.Terumo company; 22.Fresenius company; 23.Alcon company; 24.Carestream company; 25.CR Bard Company.
The company\\ s main products include cardiovascular disease treatment equipment (such as vascular stents, pacemakers, etc.), diagnostic imaging equipment, plastic surgery and orthopedic instruments, surgical instruments, in vitro diagnostic products and health materials, and other fields.
Digital technology is unstoppable
In recent years, digital technology in the medical device application in the extraordinarily rapid rate. Some researchers use the Bluetooth technical transformation of existing medical equipment, upgrading to a smart product.
For example, Bluetooth technology as a platform, researchers can develop a patient\\ s breathing, pulse, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, blood sugar levels and other vital signs data remotely via a dedicated phone to send to the computer terminal of portable digital medical care system. This monitoring system is like a \"mobile hospital\", which changed the traditional medical model, making the doctor \"adequate out of the hospital\" to understand the patient\\ s condition can change at any time, while also eliminating the need for patients to hospital for tests of trouble, and this a system of \"family bed\" type of disease management model provides a premise. Currently, a similar technology developed by the new Bluetooth-based portable digital monitors listed in the U.S. and other developed countries.
U.S. medical device manufacturers will be implanted insulin pump and glucose sensor automatically analyzes the combination of the introduction of \"smart insulin pump.\" This medical device according to the patient\\ s blood sugar needs to open their own circumstances to determine whether insulin infusion pump and to calculate the dose to avoid hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes and other emergency situations, making treatment more timely and reasonable. Prior to the market of implantable insulin pumps can only be set in accordance with a doctor prior to delivery of a constant speed of treatment.
Experts believe that the smart medical device technology is the most important embedded software. In the future, many medical device products in the market, \"fate\" will depend on the performance of its medical software. And based on Bluetooth and other digital technologies such as electronic medical records software products like medical devices, is expected to completely change the existing medical model.
Equipment and drugs \"equal shares\"
According to statistics, in 2007, the global medical equipment market sales over $ 300 billion; 2008, 33.6 million; 2010 that figure rose to $ 398 billion. 4 years, the global medical device market sales annual growth rate of 12% to 13%; the same period the average annual growth rate of the global pharmaceutical market sales hovering around 5% only. In 2006, the global medical device market sales equivalent to 43% of sales in the pharmaceutical market; and 2010, the two major market sales of almost \"equal.\"
Drugs – mechanical combination products market will grow faster
Another major medical device product trends, medical devices and drugs are increasingly linked. In the last century, medical equipment and drugs are basically \"prevails.\"
According to the European Association for the medical device industry statistics, the global medical device market, the more popular drugs – mechanical combination products are: 1 pre-filled syringe, a syringe that is pre-filled in a certain amount of liquid (such as insulin, life growth hormone, vaccines, etc.), due to a pre-filled syringes extremely easy to use, so popular with the staff welcome; 2 drug-eluting stent; 3 implantable insulin pump; 4 intrauterine implantation of long-term sustained-release IUD (carrying estrogen drugs); 5 orthopedic implant materials, such as to promote bone cell growth factor containing artificial bone and joint, bone cement and other products; 6 with stem cells and other bio-engineering products, implantable nano devices and so on.
Experts predict that the next few years, drugs – mechanical combination of products will become the world\\ s medical device industry is very important in a major product categories, the average annual market growth rate will exceed 20%.
Actively respond to the transformation and upgrading
At present, China\\ s medical device market, sales of China\\ s pharmaceutical market is only about 11% to 12%, the market there is still much room for development. However, new medical devices in China, with a big gap between the developed countries; and, 80% of the medical device manufacturer in China with annual sales are only a few hundred million small businesses, mostly low value-added products (such as a one-time infusion, sanitary materials, medical catheters, general surgical instruments, etc.). Although the market for these labor-intensive products are currently adequate, but will gradually reduce its profit margins, and from Vietnam and Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, the homogenization of competitive pressures are increasing. Thus, in the fierce market competition, China\\ s medical device companies may soon face a major reshuffle of the situation. To this end, China\\ s medical device industry should adapt to the global medical equipment market trends, changes in production patterns as soon as reasonable, targeted product development of a new direction, to achieve industrial transformation and upgrading.
National Telemedicine Engineering Research Center in Kunming
From Kunming High-tech Industrial Development Zone was informed that settled in the zone of the Yunnan mountains Ba River Image Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. by the National Development and Reform Commission officially awarding the "National Engineering Research Center for Telemedicine."
According to reports, full use of high-tech medical electronic information technology to transform and upgrade traditional medical technology services in the world within the context of today s booming medical revolution is also a good human health services, a new service system. The national R & D Engineering Center was established in Kunming, the country will fully assume lead innovation in this area, large-scale high-tech personnel training, extensive international cooperation, carry out a comprehensive focus of the technical difficulties and carry out trade technical support services, industry standards and other technical tasks, and ultimately become a national health care in remote areas into four bases, namely, telemedicine research and technology innovation and development base; mass, scale, systematic integration of equipment manufacturing base ; telemedicine and high-tech talents training base; China and the world to carry out comprehensive cooperation and the use of telemedicine technology and service base. And to stimulate China in the field of information technology for electronic high-tech and medical industries, integration, and better for the benefit of human health and health care.
Yunnan Health Department officials said that the center marks the establishment of China s first private enterprises as the main, to promote the construction of the National Engineering Research Center has been born, there is no Chinese state-level high-tech fields in the history of R & D platform has the end. At the same time, also show private high-tech industry in Yunnan rapid and healthy development of the huge development potential, Yunnan will bring about high-tech medical electronic information industry development of new drive.
“Transfer of power” to change the global health landscape
December 27, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing issued a \"Yellow Book international situation,\" said the world situation today is still in a transition period, there have been in the process of power transfer and diffusion. Power from the traditional European and American powers transferred to the emerging powers, and spread to other regional power centers.
Indeed, the current European sovereign debt crisis in the clouds dispersed, the developed economies, economic growth prospects fail to understand the context of the global \"transfer of power\" (Power Shift) trend is even more apparent. BRIC countries as represented by the emerging forces in the territory of the weight of the world economy growing year by year, which is also large multinational companies in emerging industries in the year the attention of dispersion. This trend, in the end of this year\\ s 2011 North American radiology school year will be (RSNA2011) is evident.
Fuji Film, General Electric, Siemens, as the representative of the industry companies have radiation in the current academic year at the North American exhibit their latest research and development of medical products. And without exception, they all hope will be a major growth on the emerging market countries, economic growth in China, but they can not ignore the strategic focus.
As the Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. Medical Systems Cheng-Minister Kawaguchi told reporters when he said: \"We will be in emerging countries, which invested more human resources to promote the work, which is very important of course, China has begun, we In India, Brazil and Russia are now beginning to set up their own legal, human resources to develop the local market. \"
Chinese medical prospects
Three-dimensional simulation of organs for patients and 3D imaging, the medical image management system with the iPhone and other mobile terminals \"connected\" it convenient for doctors to remotely diagnose and provide high-quality 50 micron pixel size images … … diagnosed in 2011 at the North American radiology school year, Fujifilm shows dizzying variety of medical technology.
But in fact, in today\\ s U.S. and European markets become increasingly saturated, although in many years ago into a major business opportunities inherent in the medical industry, Fuji Photo Film industry companies are still struggling to find a new growth point. In recent years, with the rapid economic development, as the representative of the emerging BRIC markets surge in demand for health care, from prevention, to diagnosis, treatment and other parts, medical equipment and medical services are in short supply trend. This is also in the school year at this year\\ s North American radiation, various third world countries face frequent booth in the latest medical reasons.
\"To states in terms of the market, in addition to Japan and the United States, China is our third largest market in the medical field.\" Kawaguchi told Cheng said.
As we all know, the world\\ s first Chinese stroke mortality, which has long been a lack of knowledge of patients and the slow pace of hospital treatment have a significant association, because stroke treatment depends on the gold three hours, three hours earlier deal with it if , will increase the chances of patients thrombolysis. According to Fuji Photo Film (China) Investment Co., Medical Products Group, longer Fuze Kai digital introduction, the \"connected\" mobile terminal system is mainly to change the doctor\\ s work flow. \"We go to booth can see, each hospital will give doctors an iPhone, such as Saturday and Sunday rest, when suddenly there in the ambulance on emergency patients, anesthetists, surgeons of the iPhone above, signs of all patients or the last shot of the X-ray information can all be reflected. \"
It should be said, this technology is undoubtedly the treatment of stroke is a great boon. In fact, today\\ s China is vigorously promoting health care reform, major hospitals have a great need for medical equipment purchases, and countries are also pushing to break the barriers to health care, which contains a variety of opportunities, will have a significant impact on the health care industry.
Contains significant opportunities in emerging countries
The \"Yellow Book international situation,\" said the \"power transfer\", simply because of the dramatic changes in the global economic map, which is mainly reflected in the slow growth in developed economies and the rapid growth of emerging economies on. This trend, which is also the past, rely mainly on Japan and the United States market, Fujifilm will focus targeting emerging economies, especially in its future pillar industries – health care industry relies on the BRIC countries.
Data show that as of the end of March 2011 fiscal year, Fuji Film Group\\ s share of regional income are: Japan 46.7%, 16.6% in the Americas, Europe 11.8%, 25.0% in Asia and other regions. Asia and other developing regions have been replaced by European and American market, as Fujifilm\\ s second largest after Japan domestic market.
From the trend of regional income, since 2007, in the context of the financial crisis, Europe and North America revenue decreased year by year trend, while Asia and other regions will be essential to maintain the original level or even increased slightly, to maintain for the Fuji Photo Film growth contribution.
Therefore, Fuji Film in accelerating the process of globalization, emerging markets are focused on creating the planning, namely: Europe, \"dig the potential\" emerging markets \"to dedicate resources specifically to create products.\"
As Kawaguchi Cheng said: \"We are further exploring new market … we need to state employees to the client side, to confirm their work site needs, and for these customers, our product portfolio to meet their the demand. \"
2016 mobile medical applications worldwide will exceed one billion downloads
.jpg "blood bag manufacturer")
November 29, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, the latest medical technology research shows that mobile medical solutions, prospects for the future, for those companies involved in mobile applications particularly the case. ABI Research recently published a report forecasting, sports and health mobile applications market will grow from $ 120 million in 2010 to grow to 400 million in 2016 dollars, that is quadruple in the next four years.
ABI s report predicts that $ 400 million will come from in most of the sports, fitness and health applications. One large-scale use of these applications have at least one year time. Available health data growing, and growing popularity of health-related applications, mainly due to more and more resistant to wear and tear, easy to carry, non-invasive devices and sensors (which can effectively measure and transmit biometric data) of the Development .
Smart phone applications for medical care and support new ways of using their complementary nature of these diagnostic and health measuring device connected, so that the mobile health care market and their customers benefit. The market there have been many good smart health tracking devices, such as you can wear on the wrist tracker Basis heart health, and sleep monitoring with Lark and so on.
These wearable devices will connect to the Web application and control panel to help users track and improve their health. This type of solution is becoming more humane and intelligent, and many are beginning to use game mechanics to attract users, prompting them to re-use of these devices.
Of course, everyone wants to create a "map" (interest in maps, social graph, and the like), and "health map" seems to be the next hot. RunKeeper is an application that helps users track their movements, trying to track the health plans like this, there are many applications, they are trying to aggregate all of your fitness and health data. And smart sensor device from the application of the ecological system consisting of collection and transmission (and talk to each other through the application programming interface) data, and then through a simple control panel provides users with mobile devices across platforms and services.
RunKeeper is not the only company to do so; This is medical technology industry forward. Of course, digital health records and health insurance solutions to simplify would have baked.
Market research firm Juniper Research today released its findings, it is forecast in 2016, "Mobile Health" (mHealth) applications downloaded worldwide will reach 142 million times. This is somewhat puzzling, especially in and ABI Research principal analyst Jonathan Collins (Jonathan Collins) when comparing predictions made. Collins said he expects the growth of downloads will double in revenue growth, 2016, the year of application downloads more than 10 million times.
Collins seems to be more optimistic than Juniper. But Juniper is also possible to use slightly different criteria to define mobile health applications. In any case, one thing is clear, the mobile medical emerging.
Third-party medical laboratory medical market value of a great application
Third-party medical laboratories from the United States, for hospitals to provide medical examination technical service professional organization. Medical social services, third-party inspection agency will be standardization, automation, information technology services into the medical field, can save health care resources, reduce health care costs in order to carry out a number of possible test items infrequently, patients can enjoy high-quality diagnostic services nearby.
Actually a third-party medical laboratory testing and pathology services focused on the medical institutions
The emergence of third-party medical laboratory can be traced back to the 1960s, when the United States there have been some small third-party medical laboratories, medical tests for hospitals to provide technical services, but does not scale. Until the mid-1990s, with the computer and the development of biotechnology, more and more modern clinical laboratory automation equipment, can simultaneously detect multiple samples, and sample volume, and supplies needed less and less, a blood sample can be do the test items, more and more third-party development of medical laboratory technology has laid a good foundation, then, the U.S. medical inspection services industry gradually developed.
"First of all third-party medical laboratory is a medical institution, dedicated testing and pathology services, diagnostic supplement for all levels of the hospital project to improve the level of testing is a good partner hospitals in the United States the 1960s, more representative QUEST, Labcort, they turnover is very large, as well as Japan SRL, sales revenue 70 billion yuan, the market size is also great. "Golden Mile Inspection Group Chairman and Managing Director Mr. Liang Yaoming says," In fact, the medical industry in the United States and other advanced testing state can be detected more than 5,000 projects in China, only the more than 1,000 test items, medical examination with a doctor in addition to the level of the industry, the project is also very concerned with the testing, so how to increase the test items, in order to better improve the clinical diagnosis is of great big. "
Third-party medical laboratory medical market value of a great application
Of the Clinical Hospital: third-party medical laboratory quality and efficient services to avoid the medium and small units of unnecessary medical testing equipment investment and staffing, will help to concentrate on the features department. Hospitals also limited the ability to retain and to be due to detection of transfers of patients, medical diagnosis and treatment, and research capability will enter a new level.
Of patients: patients can enjoy the nearby high-quality diagnostic testing services, and referral to avoid the pain of long-distance run around, very easy for the patient.
The clinician: Third-party medical laboratory test items make up a large number of small hospitals lack of test items, but also for large projects a useful complement to hospital laboratories, physicians in the treatment of patients have more choice when, may also enable level hospital clinicians in the diagnosis of the project is consistent.
Of social health: third-party medical laboratory for commercial operation, the potential health risks of market competition and forcing them to carry out high-quality, efficient and standardized management, help lower overall health care costs, improve service quality. Resource sharing service model to avoid possible duplication of equipment purchase, and also making some not often possible to carry out the test items, such as the blood concentration monitoring.
Popularization and promotion of the project: some need the government to advocate for and popularity of the project, such as congenital laboratory available distribution channels and network professionals to achieve specimen reception, test, sending series of procedures and services.
Third parties for the primary hospital medical laboratory provides a good help
Tongling, Anhui Province Hospital, Chang Huai Yu said the president, the two major health care reform goal is to make people seek care, see a good disease. Third-party inspection agency of the medical care market segments to develop a new model, the introduction of payment by such third-party field test platform for advanced medical technology to sink to the grassroots level, so that people can not leave the county to see serious illness, promising disease, but also a free hand to make the primary hospital level and improve their own health management.
Jinan City, Shandong Province, Eighth People s Hospital, Yang Caiyun president also said that now the primary hospitals, medical laboratories to work with third-party can do a lot of items to add, when the primary hospital test results can not meet the patient demand, with third-party medical testing agencies, grass-roots hospitals do three hospitals to complete testing, to improve the detection of primary hospital level, so that people nearby medical treatment, the reduction of social investment, which is conform to health reform, so that the hospital benefits, people income, government revenue .
Chinese market has unlimited potential diagnostic
It is estimated that China diagnostics market in 2013 will reach 12.9 billion yuan, Roche Diagnostics Professional Diagnostics Division, said Regional Director, Mr. He Bin, Roche Diagnostics has now more than 2.7 billion, ranking first in China. 2007 Golden Mile test with Roche Diagnostics to establish strategic cooperative partnership, Roche Diagnostics in China as the Golden Mile, technical cooperation and demonstration base.
CT medical equipment trading activity in China
The U.S. import surge
Imports and more economically developed areas of private enterprises to import the main European and Asian export share three percent each.
Computer-aided tomography (Computed Tomography, referred to as CT) as an important means of detection, has been widely used in clinical subjects, the scope of the inspection, including almost every part of the body. Latest statistics show that from January to September 2011 (below), our CT machine to maintain a certain growth in both imports and exports. China imported a total of 547 sets of CT machines, an increase of 25.46%; related imports amounted to $ 485,000,000, an increase of 35.98%; average import price of $ 886,500 / units, an increase of 8.39%. Same period, China exported CT machine 1451 units, up 12.74%; related exports was $ 232 million, an increase of 15.43%; However, the average export unit price of $ 163,200 / units, down 1.84 percentage points. This shows that China\\ s demand for high-end CT machines is increasing at the same time, the global CT market is active.
China\\ s main source of imports of CT in the United States, Japan and Germany, the three accounted for the same period the CT machine, 95 percent of total imports.

Medical device industry will be sustained and healthy development
According to reports, special focus on Science and Technology \"medical device Industry and Technology Development Plan 2011-2015\" has been completed, to solicit the views of medical device companies are expected to introduce in the near future.
Chinese medical device market fast, wide space
At present, the rapid expansion of China\\ s medical device market, has become the world after the United States and Japan the third largest medical device market, China has become the main driving areas to increase the global market. The next few years, if maintained at its present rate, China will surpass Japan to become the world\\ s second largest medical device market. Chinese medical device market is active, national policy guidance and national health agencies and equipment replacement demand, China has become a huge consumer market for medical devices.
Stimulate demand in the market and the sustained and stable development of China\\ s economic context, the rapid development of China\\ s medical equipment. In recent years, China\\ s medical device industry to maintain rapid growth, sales growth remained at 17% above average growth rate of 20.81%. Medical device industry in 2006 reached 42.771 billion yuan sales revenue in 2007, China\\ s medical device industry sales income 54.795 billion yuan, up 28.11%, of which the high-end medical equipment sales reached 10 billion yuan, an annual average of about 20% the growth rate.
Meanwhile, the new medical reform is also clear that the state will gradually increase the public health system and urban communities, rural primary health care development. As medical device companies to further root out \"the countryside + community\" market, and constantly adjust industrial structure and upgrade the situation, the medical device industry has entered a phase of rapid development. The future, two, three lines of the county, township primary health care sector will be the top priority of China\\ s medical device market, including the Midwest and other economically backward areas is the future focus. With the strength of consumption growth in these areas, future investment in national health care reform continues to increase, county room for growth will be quite broad.
Development highlights
According to statistics, the current domestic medical institutions of the overall low level of medical equipment, medical equipment and medical institutions in the region is very uneven distribution of medical resources are mainly concentrated in large urban hospitals; 15% of medical institutions in the country\\ s existing equipment and equipment is 70 years before the product, 60% of the equipment before the mid-1980s of products.
In China\\ s booming medical device market is hidden behind the hidden, similar to the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, the Chinese medical device industry, there are number of small scale, industry concentration is low, inadequate investment in research, innovation, low problem. In fact, the medical device industry is a multi-disciplinary, knowledge-intensive, capital-intensive high-tech industry, the entry threshold is higher, and although the number of Chinese medical device companies are more, but most can only survive in low-end market for or provide spare parts for foreign companies in the high-end market share of less than 1 / 3, the product life and product quality with the foreign companies have a certain gap.
Medical device companies in China\\ s domestic market share of low-end market, medical devices account for the high-end market by foreign companies. Faced with such a vast domestic medical equipment market, although the country has so many medical device manufacturers, are still imported from abroad a lot of medical equipment, China every year to spend hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign exchange to import large quantities of medical equipment from abroad, and nearly 70% of the domestic medical device market has also been carved up by foreign companies.
Multiple positive factors will lead to sustainable development of the medical device industry
Chinese Ministry of Health Planning and Finance in charge of this year, China Association of Medical Equipment of the twentieth annual conference of academic, in the \"five\" period, the central government will continue to increase investment in medical equipment project efforts to support grassroots equipped with basic medical equipment to enhance disease control agency, occupational health and maternal and child health prevention and control institutions and institution-building with the necessary equipment, and improve the rural emergency ambulance system and the gradual increase and the necessary first aid equipment. In addition, health education, primary health care institutions device configuration, health personnel training base for the construction of equipment have also been taken into account.
Meanwhile, China Medical Equipment Association Meng Jianguo, Deputy Secretary-General said at the meeting to support the medical device industry will be the \"second five\" one of the key.
The next five years, China county-level hospitals, medical equipment, imaging equipment, testing equipment and information technology products, demand will surge, \"to dedicate the new medical reform primary health care institutions, this year the state will invest 2.5 million yuan for each county hospital, Each Hospital will invest $ 2 million. \"China currently has more than 1.8 million villages, nearly 420,000 township level of government. In addition, the new medical reform to drive the private hospital market, and will bring business opportunities to the medical device market.
According to the Ministry sources, the \"five-second\" period, China will greatly enhance the number of medical devices, intelligent, high precision and networking, to promote the development of domestic medical equipment, the next step is also expected to achieve in the field of medical equipment remanufacturing .
According to Ministry sources, the \"special plan\" for each high school to support low-end medical equipment. The focus of primary care involves basic equipped with 10 categories, and is expected to promote the appropriate conditions of inexpensive high-quality ultrasound ultrasound equipment; in high-end products focused on solving the problem of high-value consumables, and strive to achieve the pricing; medical services will be supported.
In addition, as technology advances and the rapid development of Chinese economy, China to speed up the pace with international standards, will promote the upgrading of domestic equipment, medical equipment market capacity expansion. Meanwhile, China\\ s huge population, natural population growing rapidly, while the natural population growth is to promote the consumption of medical goods essential factors. Along with economic development, people\\ s living standards are improved. People began to seek to improve the quality of life in general, have a relatively strong sense of health care, medical device products for a relatively large demand.
With the introduction of the policy of state support, and development of market economy and market demand, the medical device industry will usher in a sustained and healthy development.
