On 7 August, the Healthcare Equipment Working Group submitted feedback to the National Development and Reform Commission regarding the medical device registration fee. The group proposed cancelling or reducing renewal registration fees for medical devices, unifying fees for both imported and domestically produced devices to ensure fair competition, and simplifying the registration process for standard upgrades. They also recommended optimising fees for product modifications, establishing expedited service channels with additional fees, adding supplementary fee and refund processes for reclassified products, and providing fee discounts and expedited channels for innovative products to foster industry innovation.
