中国鼓励国产医疗器械研发生产 - 2017年05月10日

CHINA is trying to break its import reliance on medical equipment by encouraging more domestic innovation and production.

At the recent China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair, one example of progress was on display. A surgical stapler used in tumor operations, manufactured by Shanghai-based Ezisurg Medical, won “most popular product” at the exhibition. The device costs almost a third less than imported models.

About 90 percent of medical equipment used in China last year came from abroad, according to the China Medical Pharmaceutical Material Association.
