On July 14th, the Healthcare Equipment Working Group submitted comments to the National Office for Volume-based Procurement of High-Value Medical Consumables on the Fourth Batch National Volume-based Procurement of High-Value Medical Consumables draft. The group suggested that industry enterprises be given reasonable development space in the centralized procurement of sports medicine products, with contracts awarded to companies that achieve a certain reduction percentage in their prices. Prior to implementing volume-based procurement, companies should be given sufficient preparation and transition periods. Clear rules regarding product selection, grouping, etc., should be defined, with extensive input from companies sought. Additionally, the industry's needs for innovation and development should be taken into consideration.
