On April 13th, the National Health Commission held a press conference to introduce the expansion and sinking of high-quality medical resources and regional balanced layout. Li Dachuan, Deputy Director of the Medical Affairs Department of the National Health Commission, introduced that he will further promote the construction of national and regional medical centers, leading the development of the industry. Through a series of measures, the focus of medical services has been shifted downwards and resources have been sunk to better meet the needs of the people for medical treatment. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

Industry insiders believe that the grassroots medical equipment market will continue to expand. Domestic medical equipment enterprises have supply chain advantages. As technological barriers continue to break through and product performance continues to improve, relevant listed companies will continue to benefit.

Doing a Good Job in the Establishment and Construction of "Double Centers"

Li Dachuan stated that after years of efforts, the National Medical Center and the National Regional Medical Center have mobilized and gathered various forces from local governments, universities, and research institutions to carry out in-depth core technology research, focusing on solving long-term and global medical problems that affect people's health, and producing a batch of groundbreaking clinical research results. According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, in 2022 alone, the "Double Centers" have carried out international and 372 domestically pioneered and leading technologies. Since the implementation of the national regional medical center construction project, more than 1400 diagnostic and treatment technologies have been transferred to input provinces, filling more than 300 provincial medical technology gaps, and the number of cross provincial medical visits in relevant provinces has significantly decreased.

Li Dachuan stated that in the next step, the National Health Commission will continue to do a good job in the establishment and construction of the "dual center". Research and formulate plans for the establishment of national medical centers and national regional medical centers in the next five years, drive the targeted flow of high-quality medical resources, and promote the resolution of structural contradictions in the imbalance of high-quality medical resources between regions; According to the plan, hospitals that meet the standards for setting up national medical centers and national regional medical centers will be the main body, and selected to become national medical centers and national regional medical centers.

Li Dachuan stated that the National Health Commission will establish working mechanisms such as "unveiling and commanding" and "horse racing" to guide the implementation of functional positioning of the already established "dual centers", and play an important role in promoting the expansion and sinking of high-quality medical resources and regional balanced layout. The organization assesses and evaluates the organizational management, operational development, and task completion of the "dual center", and dynamically adjusts them based on the assessment results. At the same time, the National Health Commission will continue to work with departments such as the National Development and Reform Commission to continue promoting the construction of national medical centers and regional medical center projects.

Guide the sinking of high-quality urban resources

The National Health Commission guides the sinking of high-quality resources in cities and continuously improves the comprehensive capacity of county-level hospitals by carrying out work such as providing assistance to county-level hospitals through the coordination of tertiary hospitals.

Li Dachuan introduced that as of the end of 2022, 87.7% of county hospitals have reached the capacity of second level hospitals, and 45.6% of county hospitals have reached the capacity of third level hospitals. The medical service and management capabilities of county hospitals nationwide have further improved.

County hospitals are the leader of county-level medical and health service networks and the link between urban and rural medical and health service systems, "Li Dachuan said. The National Health Commission will continue to promote the better sinking of high-quality medical resources in cities into the county and continuously meet the basic medical service needs of county residents.

Li Dachuan stated that the National Health Commission will continue to provide urban-rural counterpart support and promote talent accumulation. Organize tertiary hospitals to provide assistance to county-level hospitals, with at least 5 hospital management and health professionals stationed annually, each person continuously stationed for no less than 6 months to ensure that the recipient hospital has personnel stationed throughout the year for assistance. Organize medical talents to form a "group style" assistance for rural revitalization and key assistance to county people's hospitals.

At the same time, we will strengthen the construction of specialized abilities and promote technological advancement. Request support hospitals to expand their service scope, increase diagnosis and treatment subjects, carry out new technologies and businesses, and improve their diagnostic and treatment capabilities for common and frequently occurring diseases with high external transfer rates and high medical needs based on the situation of the recipient hospitals.

In addition, using methods such as trusteeship to promote management sinking. Guiding and supporting hospitals to adopt methods such as entrusted operation and management, establishing medical consortia, etc., with dispatched personnel serving as the president or vice president, department director of the recipient county-level hospital, and establishing a close linkage mechanism between the upper and lower levels. Assist recipient hospitals in optimizing their management structure, improving rules and regulations, improving performance evaluation and salary distribution systems, and improving the scientific, standardized, and refined level of hospital management.

Through the above measures, we aim to have at least one county-level hospital in counties with a permanent population of over 50000 reach the medical service capacity of a second level hospital by 2025, and strive to achieve the medical service capacity of a second level A hospital. For counties with a permanent population of less than 50000, we aim to have one county-level hospital reach the medical service capacity of a second level hospital, or through targeted assistance, trusteeship, medical consortium construction, remote medical services, and more from city third level hospitals Three ways to meet the basic medical and health needs of county residents Li Dachuan said.

In terms of the construction of medical consortia, Li Dachuan introduced that currently, the construction of national compact urban medical groups has laid a certain foundation, and the National Health Commission is selecting pilot cities nationwide. This year, through breakthroughs in key points, we will summarize experiences that can be promoted and replicated.

Upward momentum of the medical device industry

Kaiyuan Securities believes that promoting the expansion and sinking of high-quality medical resources will be a key task for healthcare development in 2023. Under the requirements of expanding and sinking high-quality medical resources and balancing regional layout, the grassroots medical equipment market will continue to expand.

The institution believes that private hospitals that can provide high-quality diagnosis and treatment technology and service experience have a promising development prospect. At the same time, the country advocates the establishment of medical centers and the improvement of a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system, which is conducive to private hospitals providing better differentiated services and jointly developing and improving China's diagnosis and treatment system with public medical institutions. Be optimistic about the growth of private medical services.

Zhongyuan Securities believes that China still faces the problem of insufficient total high-quality medical resources, uneven distribution between urban and rural areas, and regions. The level of grassroots medical and health services needs to be improved, and the expansion and sinking of medical resources in the future is the trend. It is recommended to pay attention to leading companies in the field of hospital testing services and related companies in the medical device field that benefit from graded diagnosis and treatment.

According to the Guotai Jun'an Research Report, the number of hospitals completed in 2023 is expected to remain high, which will bring about a demand for medical equipment procurement. The grassroots medical market has a greater demand for affordable and high-quality products, and domestic medical equipment enterprises have supply chain advantages. With the continuous breakthrough of technological barriers and the continuous improvement of product performance, the prosperity of the domestic medical device industry is expected to continue to rise.
