Domestic medical equipment need to pay more attention to independent innovation |
Posted: October 15, 2012 |
In China, the development of medical device industry is more rapid, but little look, we will find our local market, many high-end medical equipment basically need to rely on imports. Domestic medical equipment also long been surrounded by a "foreign goods, making it difficult to achieve a breakthrough. In this regard, the experts said that China-made medical devices in order to have their positions must also be long-term independent innovation is placed on the development of weight. Foreign and joint venture enterprises have become the main force in China's medical equipment market, imported products in China has formed a sales monopoly. The domestics can only difficult survival of the low-end market at their doorstep. "China can build a satellite can be manned spaceflight, how can you not produce artificial joints and screw it?" The face of expensive hospital "foreign joint expert joke, perhaps only cotton gauze to international on we own the brand. "Not long ago, in the second session of the China medical equipment seminar on the development of independent innovation, how innovation" has been "chewing abuse" topic again put on the table. However, experts do not think the topic of aging, they feel to be surrounded by foreign brands made medical devices, only independent innovation be possible to blaze a new trail, occupying their positions. Foreign goods dominate the world On expert opinion, higher domestic medical equipment applications in our country at this stage, more than 80-90% are generic, many high-end medical equipment to be monopolized by foreign companies, causing prices to remain high, exacerbated by the people "expensive" social contradictions. However, the People's Liberation Army General Hospital, director Wang Yan is still optimistic about the domestic medical equipment market, in his view, China's medical equipment and drugs consumption ratio of only 1:5, while in developed countries the ratio of up to 1:1, indicating that China's medical equipment industry there is a huge gap. However, the "ideal is full, the reality is very skinny." Domestic medical device products but could not shake off the "cottage", "low-end" of the title. Lack of core technology The technological level of China's medical equipment, and many of the core technologies are developed countries monopoly, China's share of the international market share of less than 2%. By Qiu said that China's medical device manufacturers to use more traditional mode of production, many of the products are low-level repetitive production, only in the middle and low technical level, and most of the product as a low-end assembly. Should be pointed out is shortsighted Today, many domestic enterprises blind pursuit of high profits, quick returns, like to do a one-shot deal ". By Qiu this analysis, medical equipment, high-profit, the products of a number of small businesses can not enter the large hospitals, but into the small hospital is very profitable small businesses easily self-satisfied, do not want to bother or investment to engage in research and development . Take the road of independent innovation Face opportunities and industry experts are calling for domestic enterprises rely on foreign investment "is not a fundamental way, or to go to self-reliance, to engage in the path of self-development. In this regard, by Qiu suggested that countries should strengthen the hospital compound talents training, medical equipment manufacturers, to encourage clinicians directly involved in product development in line with Chinese characteristics and disease characteristics of orthopedic devices. Also, to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights of domestic brands to ensure that its own brand is not compromised; build leading companies, and enhance the ability to compete with international companies. Many experts called for the medical device industry also need government support and the support of some of the more medical devices as an important livelihood industry to do. Countries should develop preferential policies for tax credit, to give support to the government procurement policy, encouraged to develop appropriate policies for the enterprise from raw material production to the device R & D and production. "The medical device industry in Europe and Japan as the welfare industry support of China can also be referenced." Yan said.
