In order to promote centralized procurement of medical equipment in a standardized and orderly manner, enhance the efficiency of the use of funds by public medical and health institutions, strengthen the construction of clean government in the medical and health sector, and protect people's health rights and interests, the National Health Commission, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the National Administration for Disease Prevention and Control issued a notice today requesting all regions to further improve the centralized procurement of medical equipment for public medical and health institutions. When public medical and health institutions across the country purchase medical equipment included in the centralized procurement catalogue of national, provincial, municipal and prefecture-level departments, they shall implement centralized departmental procurement. The National Health Commission and provincial health administration departments separately draw up centralized procurement catalogues for medical equipment departments at their respective levels, report them to the financial department at the same level for the record according to regulations, and then organize implementation. Municipal and prefecture-level health administration departments draw up a catalogue of centralized departmental procurement, report it to the provincial health administration department for approval, and then report it to the financial department for filing and implementation in accordance with local regulations. Class A large-scale medical equipment is included in the centralized procurement catalogue of national departments, and centralized procurement continues to be organized by the National Health Commission. Equipment that has a high degree of individualization, requires supporting design and construction of infrastructure projects, and is registered in accordance with procedures one by one will not be included in the centralized procurement catalogue for the time being. Class B large-scale medical equipment is included in the centralized procurement catalogue of provincial departments, and other medical equipment with large purchase capital investment and insufficient market competition is gradually included in the centralized procurement catalogue, and centralized procurement is organized by provincial health administration departments. National and provincial departments centrally procure medical equipment outside of the catalogue. Municipal and prefecture-level health administration departments shall draw up centralized procurement catalogues and organize centralized procurement based on the principles of prudence and prudence, easy first, then difficult.
