Unfair treatment of domestic medical equipment

Digital medical equipment of high quality and low price in our country, but only occupy less than 20% of the market, the rest of the market are presided over by foreign brands even second-hand equipment, why?

Always think the foreign brand quality must be good for some patients, therefore, when to see a doctor, would rather exponentially to spend money, also want to choose foreign brands. Patients with this kind of psychological is understandable. Earlier, we have the same prejudices for home appliance products. But now, how many people to buy imported TV, air conditioning?

It is worth noting that the domestic some hospitals the unfair treatment of local brands. When bidding procurement, these hospitals clear requirements "must" for imported equipment, "one thing that must be imported products", or by a certain parameters or commerce clause set the domestic products not be bidding, etc., not according to the principle of "low bid" to select the winning product, makes the tender.

At the same time, in making medical devices use fee standards, provisions of domestic medical equipment fee should be lower than similar imported products. Make double charge standard, its purpose should be to reduce the cost of the common people to see the doctor, but in fact limits the development of domestic digital medical equipment space, make its status in market competition at a disadvantage, and choose expensive foreign brands for the hospital.

Double standards will also be hospital purchase behavior orientation import brand. Due to the fact that the purchase of imported equipment one-time investment, though large, but because of the expensive, recover the cost soon, later benefit is very considerable.

Production enterprises and some think impassability, I hope as soon as possible with foreign brands stand on the same starting line. However, do have some problems worthy of consideration. First of all, on the tax policy, according to the relevant provisions, be used as the scientific research and teaching supplies import medical equipment products shall be exempted from customs duties and VAT, to buy domestic products would not have this offer.

In addition, there are the credit policy. In general, the domestic hospital to a one-off millions of yuan to buy the digital medical equipment is difficult, but if the purchase of imported equipment often get exporter of buyer's credit, and most of the government's long-term loans to exporters. The independent brand equipment is difficult to enjoy these.
