A growing Chinese middle class and increasing investment in health care by the Chinese government are making such devices as pacemakers, defibrillators, insulin pumps and spine products accessible to hundreds of millions of new patients. More-familiar factors play a role, too, as the nation falls prey to such chronic ailments as heart disease and diabetes, meaning even more customers will lean on technology to prolong and improve their lives.
By 2025, China will have nearly 300 million senior citizens requiring medical services, and its middle class already surpasses the entire U.S. population. Demand for access to quality healthcare and the technology that makes it possible will grow accordingly. Although local manufacturers are increasingly moving up the value chain and developing and manufacturing more sophisticated medical devices, significant opportunities still exist in the Middle Kingdom for entrepreneurial and innovative medical device companies of all sizes.
The European Chamber is delighted to have Mr. Marshall Chen, Manager China Consulting, Fiducia, Mrs. Tracey Gao, Director of Regulatory Affairs and Quality management, Siemens Shanghai Medical Equipment Ltd., and Mr. Valtero Canepa, General Manager, Shanghai Bracco Sine Pharmaceuticals Corp. as they discuss pertinent issues facing healthcare technology in China.
