    Further restrict the purchase of imported medical equipment
     
    Following the release of the "Imported Medical Equipment Purchase List" issued by many provinces in 2021, various provinces have successively implemented a number of policies that favor domestic medical equipment
    .
     
    Recently (May 26), Zhejiang Hangzhou Municipal Finance Bureau issued the "Notice on Regulating the Administration of Government Procurement of Imported Products" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice") to support domestically produced innovative products, and in principle, no imported products may be purchased!
     
    1.
    The total purchase of imported products has dropped by more than 10% annually
     
    First of all, the "Notice" puts forward that purchasers should encourage and support domestic independent innovation and accelerate the promotion of localized substitution of imported products
    .
    In principle, if the products to be purchased have domestic substitute products of the same kind or the quantity of imported products of the same kind has been purchased to meet the corresponding demand, imported products shall not be purchased in principle
    .

     
    In addition to meeting special needs, the total government procurement of imported products will drop by more than 10% annually within three years starting from 2021
    .
     
    In short, the total purchase of imported products must be reduced by more than 30% within 3 years, and this 30% of the purchase will naturally fall into the hands of the relevant domestic manufacturers, laying a solid foundation for the further completion of domestic substitution of imports.

    .
     
    At the same time, the "Notice" also proposes to encourage and support purchasers to preferentially purchase independent innovative products recognized as the first set of products and "manufactured boutiques"
    .
    The purchaser may give appropriate evaluation points for independent innovation products on the premise that the total score of technical services is not exceeded
    .

     
      2.
    Do not restrict domestic similar products from participating in competition
     
      Secondly, the "Notice" also clarified that purchasers should do market research and price calculations, reduce the purchase of non-rigid, non-urgently needed, and non-key imported products, and should not restrict the participation of similar domestic products on the grounds of being included in the province's unified demonstration product list.
    Competition
    .
     
      On February 4 this year, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Finance announced the "2021-2022 Provincial Government Procurement of Imported Products Unified Demonstration List (Medical Equipment)" (see the link at the end of the article for the list).
    195 types of medical equipment are included in the list and imported products can be purchased.

    .
    I thought that with the exception of these 195 types of medical equipment, domestic products could only be purchased first, but this "notice" clearly reduced the "power" of the import list again and further restricted import purchases
    .

     
      Even if it is possible to choose imported products, it must be medical equipment that is "just needed and urgently needed".
    I must not restrict domestic medical equipment from participating in competition.
    It can be said that this requirement of Hangzhou is absolutely a family-like existence for all domestic manufacturers.
    !
     
      Third, the purchase of imports must be made through collective decision-making
     
      In addition, the "Notice" also requires the improvement of internal control management.
    According to the principle of "who purchases, who is responsible", the purchaser shall fully implement the main responsibility, improve the internal control management system, and strictly implement the relevant regulations on government procurement of imported products
    .
     
      If the government purchases imported products through the collective decision of the unit and submits the import product application review form, and the purchaser organizes expert argumentation by itself, the expert group should be composed of five or more (singular) non-unit experts, which should include a law Expert
    .
     
      Among the “corruption” cases in the medical field, “top leaders” accounted for the vast majority of corruption, and the imbalance of rights made a certain individual’s rights infinitely magnified, especially in hospitals , the purchase amount of some imported medicines, consumables and equipment.
    It is extremely large, so this "notice" specifically proposes that the purchase of imported products must be made through collective decisions by the unit to prevent abuse of the rights of the "top leader"
    .
     
      Fourth, further restrict the purchase of imported products
     
      Finally, the "Notice" also stated that for imported products that are not uniformly demonstrated by the province, they need to be reviewed by the competent budget unit.
    The review content should include main information such as application reasons, internal control records, purchases of similar products, and expert argumentation opinions on imported products.

    .
     
      At the same time, purchasers should strengthen early warning management of imported products that are more frequently purchased by the government
    .
    The budgetary unit in charge focuses on monitoring imported products that are not uniformly demonstrated by the province, including but not limited to the reasons for the application of imported products, the purchase price, and the legality and compliance of purchase requirements
    .

     
      The financial department will also strengthen the examination and approval of government procurement of imported products, and promptly return imported product purchase applications in situations where the unit's internal control procedures are incomplete, the expert's opinion is not clear, the information provided is incomplete, and the budget unit's review opinions are not clear
    .
    In addition, the financial department needs to regularly organize and carry out inspections of the purchase of imported products, and the purchasers shall be urged to rectify the problems found in the inspections, and the inspections shall be notified through appropriate forms
    .

     
      Procurement of imported equipment will be supervised throughout the process
     
      In addition to Hangzhou, in February this year, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Finance also issued the "Notice on Optimizing Administration of Provincial Government Procurement of Imported Products", which also requires strict review of government procurement of imported products
    .
     
      For subordinate units that apply for purchasing imported products, they should focus on reviewing whether there is over-standard purchasing, the necessity, irreplaceability, economy, and efficiency of purchasing imported products
    .
     
      In addition, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Finance also proposed the use of modern information technology to implement one-sheet supervision of imported products
    .
    Comprehensively sort out all aspects of the management of government procurement of imported products, and use a table to reflect the basic situation of government procurement of imported products by each unit
    .

     
      Through the establishment of an early warning monitoring mechanism, the purchaser's import product purchase application items, application reasons, purchase prices, and the timeliness, legitimacy, and compliance of the audit items of the budget unit in charge of the purchaser can be early-warned and monitored
    .
     
      Home-made medical equipment accelerates substitution of imports
     
      In fact, as early as 2020, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Finance proposed that it will actively promote the share of domestic large-scale medical equipment in provincial medical institutions
    .
     
      On the premise of not violating existing laws, strictly implement the provisions of the "Administrative Measures on Government Procurement of Imported Products"
    .
    Government procurement shall purchase domestic products.
    If the products that the purchaser needs to purchase are not available in China or cannot be obtained under reasonable commercial conditions, and the laws and regulations require the purchase of imported products, audit management shall be implemented
    .

     
      Obviously, now it has not only created favorable conditions for domestic enterprises from restricting the purchase of imported medical equipment, but also in the procurement of medical consumables in many provinces and cities, domestic equipment manufacturers are also having more and more competitive weights!
     
      On May 27, a pharmaceutical company in Hunan was entrusted by the Hengyang Municipal Medical Insurance Bureau to purchase consumables ( drugs ) related to the treatment of end-stage renal disease in Hengyang .
    The document pointed out that among the agreed purchases, domestically selected products accounted for 90% For the above share, the selected imported products account for less than 10% of the share, and the selected products will be equally allocated the corresponding agreed procurement volume
    .
     
      In addition, on May 10, the Guangdong Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau recently issued a "Letter on the Proposal for Co-organization of Representatives No.
    1116 of the Fourth Session of the Thirteenth People’s Congress of Guangdong Province".
    It is proposed that the establishment of medical insurance payment standards and centralized procurement coordination will be adopted.
    Mechanisms and improvement of bidding and procurement mechanisms to support the development and use of domestic consumables, support the development of domestic medical consumables industry, and promote the substitution of domestic consumables
    .
     
      It is not difficult to find that the country and various regions have been continuously deepening in promoting the domestic substitution of medical devices
    .
    This time, Hangzhou City also specifically requested that within 3 years, in addition to special needs, the total government procurement of imported products should be reduced by 30%, which shows the determination of the local government to support domestic manufacturers
    .

     
      And we also believe that after Hangzhou, more provinces and cities will begin to join the ranks, and domestic medical equipment will accelerate into the fast lane of development.
    All equipment manufacturers and distributors must seize the opportunity to increase R&D and promotion.
    Jointly promote domestic medical equipment to a higher level!
