"Foreign brand" monopoly status of China Medical Devices Market worrying

　　CT, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging equipment , biochemical analyzer ...... Currently, imports of medical equipment in China " world domination ." Losing positions in the health care market , while China also faces suffer huge economic losses , increased technical difficulty of breaking the monopoly of the multiple risks.
　　"It is an accepted fact in the industry , domestic and imported medical equipment number Panax open, and high-end products imported medical devices can occupy more than 90 % of the market ." Xu Shan , deputy director of the International Cooperation Department of China Medical Devices Industry Association said .
　　According to Chinese Medicine & Health Products Import and Export Chamber of Commerce statistics, in 2012 , China Medical Devices imports amounted to 12.472 billion U.S. dollars , an increase of 14.56% . Of which 31 varieties of imports amounted to one hundred million U.S. dollars in scale to high value-added products.
　　Reporters learned that , not only in Shanxi provincial hospitals , municipal hospitals , all kinds of Chinese Medicine Hospital, West Hospital , the world of medical equipment are imported . Even the vast majority of county hospitals in the country , medical equipment imports also labeled "tab ."
　　"Domestic medical equipment industry in the global medical device market share of less than 3% , and China's huge consumer market for medical devices disproportionate ." Shanxi Food and Drug Administration said a staff member , a few good performance of domestic products in the country almost three hospitals no market can only go township hospitals and other " low-level route ."
China 's medical equipment industry is a new industry , whether it is production or research and development are far from being able to meet the market demand, especially high-end products still rely on imports.
　　Shanxi , a dean said MCH , depending on the displacement, a CT import prices ranging from 200 million to tens of millions of dollars, and made ​​more than 100 million can buy. Due to technical fall short of a foreign country, even with a big price advantage , it never went into the hospital's procurement horizons .
　　In addition to technical reasons "foreign brand" behind dominate the world , is huge kickbacks at work. In addition to the hospital can only get the rebate , a number of multinational companies but also to study abroad , attend an academic conference in the name of the person in charge to allow hospitals free travel , which is also crowding out domestic products market space.
Worrying is that China is facing huge medical device market revenue loss , increase the difficulty of breaking the monopoly of technology , such as multiple risks.
　　China's medical equipment industry has great potential . In 2012, China's medical equipment market demand continues to grow , medical device manufacturing equipment and total production increased steadily. From January to September , China's medical device manufacturing equipment and realized a total industrial output value of 110.3 billion yuan , an increase of 19.5%.
　　In addition, due to the inability to break the monopoly of technology , from product purchase , maintenance updates , these imports vendors are all "high service" , the hospital can only allow other wild speculations.
　　" A magnetic resonance imaging equipment purchase costs in Japan for more than 1,400 yuan , but also to renew the agreement Maintenance $ 800,000 per year , if you can not sign , once broken equipment , maintenance costs and more expensive. Hundreds of dollars a parts, he can asking thousands of dollars . " Shanxi one of the hospital said that these high-cost patients eventually fell to the head, exacerbated by " expensive "problem.
　　The industry believes that , under the current national conditions , medical institutions , physicians should be based on the patient's condition requires , it is recommended to use a suitable high , medium and low different file types of medical devices . Meanwhile, the improvement of domestic medical equipment checks and Medicare reimbursement . In addition, the increase in research funding for R & D talent and technology incentives to support domestic niche products.
　　" A few years ago , after a stent domestic sale , the price of similar imported products beat down by more than half , while the development of this drug-eluting stents , even in the medical device industry is well-developed in Japan is still entirely dependent on imports. " Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of Shanxi Province , said one respondent who , at the same time to catch up , but also to see the Chinese productivity in the field of medical devices is not entirely pessimistic , the most critical weaknesses .
