2024-06-21 | Beijing, Shanghai

On the 21st of June, the Healthcare Equipment Working Group provided feedback to the Shaanxi Provincial Healthcare Security Administration on a draft called "Notice on Further Improving the Centralized Purchasing of Medical Consumables by the Shaanxi Provincial Healthcare Security Administration".The group made several key recommendations. Firstly, they recommended keeping the alternative listing catalogue management mechanism. Also, they called for a gradual price adjustment strategy, which incorporates the best practices from Shaanxi province and other centralised procurement projects across provinces to cater to the diverse needs of patients. Besides, to facilitate a quicker market entry for new products and improve the accessibility of medical devices, they anticipated a moderate easing of network access conditions across provinces and a reduction in unnecessary restrictions.
