Why is it difficult for domestic cheap medical devices to enter large hospitals?

Many patients have a deep understanding of the high cost of examination in large hospitals The reporter recently learned that the large medical equipment and consumables in Beijing large hospitals, such as MRI and CT, are almost imported brands The products with reliable quality and low price independently developed by domestic medical equipment enterprises are difficult to enter large hospitals Why don't big hospitals wait for domestic products? Is the quality of domestic brands distrusted, or there is another secret? The high cost of imported equipment for patients, "expensive to see a doctor" in addition to the high cost of medicine, the high cost of examination is also an important reason The large high-tech medical equipment used in large hospitals are almost imported, and the price is not cheap, which is one of the reasons for the high inspection fees It is the most common examination item to do the examination in the hospital At present, Kodak, Fuji, Konica and Agfa, the four largest medical film companies in the world, occupy the majority market share of China's major hospitals Although domestic medical films are also available, they are difficult to enter large hospitals Cheng Guohua, CEO of Hangzhou Jianpei Technology Co., Ltd., said that foreign enterprises often sell imported medical imaging equipment to Chinese medical institutions at a price several times higher than its domestic price In addition, film consumables and equipment maintenance costs are also very high In addition, China's large-scale medical equipment such as CT and MRI are basically monopolized by a few foreign enterprises such as Siemens and Philips The director of the radiology department of a top three hospital in Beijing admitted that the price of these equipment was very high at the time of purchase, but they were indispensable for medical treatment, and the cost would eventually be passed on to patients "In order to earn back the cost of purchasing machines, some hospitals will give patients repeated and excessive examinations, which will further increase the burden of patients' medical treatment." Why don't hospitals choose domestic products? While the expensive imported medical equipment aggravates the "expensive" of patients, the domestic equipment with relatively low price cannot enter the large hospital Is it because the quality of domestic medical equipment is not up to standard? Industry insiders said that it is undeniable that China's high-end medical devices started late and its R & D capacity is weak, and the overall technical level of domestic medical devices does have a gap with developed countries Therefore, medical institutions, especially large hospitals, do not agree with domestic medical devices However, after the development in recent years, some of the products produced by some medical equipment enterprises in China have been able to compete with the imported products "There are many reasons that affect the access of domestic medical equipment to large hospitals." "We use Kodak medical film in our hospital Although there are domestic substitutes, it needs a process to accept new products," said an expert from the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Radiologists in some hospitals in Beijing said that the price of domestic medical film is low, which is not attractive to large hospitals "Because Beijing's policy allows hospitals to add a percentage when selling films, and the percentage is fixed, the higher the film price is, the higher the bonus the hospital gets The film price is low, but there is no market " How to promote large hospitals to use domestic products? Zhou chunwu, director of the imaging diagnosis Department of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said that the development of domestic medical equipment can greatly reduce the price of imported equipment "For example, the original CT contrast agent did not have a domestic brand, and the price was particularly expensive Later, with a domestic brand, the price of the imported brand was reduced If the domestic brand is not developed, the monopoly of the imported products will continue indefinitely." Dr Xu Yang, executive deputy group leader of the medical devices group of the national plan for thousands of people, said that some domestic medical devices can completely replace imported products Lu Bingtong, chairman of Hangzhou Jianpei Technology Co., Ltd., said that China's policy on domestic medical equipment has a strange circle of "refueling in research and development, braking in the market", which has hit the enthusiasm of enterprises for independent innovation Industry insiders suggested that they hope to incline to local enterprises in bidding and purchasing policies, and encourage medical institutions to use high-quality domestic medical devices Li Bin, director of the national health and Family Planning Commission, said that it is an urgent need to advocate the use of domestic medical equipment by health and family planning institutions, and focus on promoting the use of domestic medical equipment by third-class and first-class hospitals, which can effectively curb the unreasonable growth of medical expenses and effectively reduce the burden of patients The national health and Family Planning Commission has made it clear that the health and family planning departments should work closely with the industry and information technology departments, more and better use planning, standards and other means, accelerate the removal of obstacles restricting the development and application of domestic medical equipment, and create a good social environment and policy environment.
