Northeast is revitalized, medical care cannot be left behind

The voices of the Northeast have been despised in recent years, but in fact, the "first son of the Republic" has never been forgotten.

As early as 2004, senior management formally proposed the strategy of " revitalizing Northeast ", hoping to revive the glory of the Northeast Big Brother through industrial development. In recent years, this strategy has accelerated its pace.

In 2016, the "Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Comprehensively Revitalizing Old Industrial Bases in the Northeast Region" was released. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly required "to promote the revitalization of the Northeast to make new breakthroughs."

The central government’s earnestness to the revitalization of the Northeast is not needed. At the same time, few people realize that in many key areas, the Northeast is still the "leader" of the Republic!

Northeast is the "ballast stone" of China's food security . 2021 The total grain output of in the three northeastern provinces of reached 288.9 billion jin, accounting for 21.2% of the country, and the contribution rate to the national grain production increase of exceeded 57%. Heilongjiang, the largest grain-producing province in China, produces 12% of the country's working population and feeds 17% of the population.

Northeast is also an important energy production base for oil, coal and other energy production base in the country, thus laying a solid foundation for heavy industry in the Northeast. , the first domestic aircraft carrier , the main compressor , and the underwater glider , all of which were launched in Liaoning. HUST tens of thousands of graduates have silently devoted themselves to China's aerospace field, supporting the backbone of China's aerospace career. Almost all strategic industries that are related to the lifeline of national economy and national security can find shadows on this land.

In addition to this, there is a good ecological environment here. Mountains and dense forests, ice and snow, rivers, lakes and seas are all treasures given by nature.

The direction of Northeast revitalization has always been in front of you: policy support + local advantages + external assistance.

policy support and local advantages have always been there, and there are also many external helps.

On September 25, 2022, , the world's leading medical device and solution provider, Mindray Medical , just donated a batch of medical equipment to Heilongjiang Provincial Health Commission , worth more than 51 million yuan.

The author briefly sorted out that this batch of medical devices mainly includes 5G remote ultrasound diagnosis system, automatic external defibrillator (AED), first total hip replacement system, etc., and is targeted to fund more than 230 medical institutions and other public places in Heilongjiang Province to strengthen the diagnosis and treatment level and emergency rescue capabilities of Heilongjiang Province. Behind this donation of

, Heilongjiang Province is vigorously promoting the in-depth integration of digital technology , biotechnology and medical care, health care and other industries. Mindray Medical is the leader in domestic medical equipment. Through this opportunity, the black soil may further collide with sparks of high-end medical equipment manufacturing.

From another dimension, this donation has more profound significance.

33 remote mountainous areas call for high-quality medical resources

Behind the "revitalization of the Northeast", there is also a proposition of the times hidden-

common prosperity.

The big brother back then fell behind temporarily. We should help us to drive it together to move towards a better future. This is the subtext of "revitalizing the Northeast" and the main line of our current policies.

So, what exactly is common prosperity? This seemingly abstract question has concrete answers in the eyes of the people -

Educational equity, medical equality, and housing security.

There is no need to say much about education and house issues. In the past few years, these two industries have experienced full discussion and change.Medical equality, as one of the goals that must be achieved in common prosperity, was once ignored by people.

From a global perspective, the uneven distribution of medical resources is a common problem. In China, medical resources in various places are also roughly related to the local economic development level and population density.

Beijing News has been sorted out. About 39.5% of hospitals in the country, 45% of Grade A hospitals , 45.7% of practicing (assistant) physicians, and 40.3% of hospital beds are concentrated in the eastern region. From the perspective of cities, medical resources across the country are concentrated in core cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Hangzhou, and Xi'an.

The vast majority of the central and western regions, most third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities and remote villages, still call for high-quality and equal medical resources.

New practice of medical leader

Faced with this problem, Mindray Medical has brought a solution.

Minray Medical’s medical equipment donated this time is to strengthen local medical equipment needs in four aspects -

Laboratory medicine , remote diagnosis and treatment, precision medicine, and pre-hospital emergency.

Heilongjiang Province, as the northernmost province in China, has a vast territory. The vast majority of border townships and counties have a strong demand for remote diagnosis and treatment and precise diagnosis and treatment.

For example, in the face of Harbin's aging population and severe cold weather, Mindray Medical donated 100 hip replacement systems to the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and the First Hospital of Harbin City, targeting them for use by patients with hip replacement needs in 18 counties (districts) in the border and those with financial difficulties in their need. What is more meaningful is remote diagnosis and treatment. revolves around 18 counties and districts on the border of Heilongjiang Province and 157 township health centers under its jurisdiction. Mindray Medical will form the "three Rui" ecosystem through the "Ruizhilian", "Ruiyingyun++" and "Muizhizhi Inspection" laboratory IT solutions, and will sink high-quality medical resources to county-level and township medical institutions. Practices like

have long appeared. Previously, Shenzhen Bao'an People's Hospital and the counterpart assistance hospital were thousands of kilometers apart, but with the help of a remote ultrasound imaging platform, Shenzhen doctors could guide local ultrasound doctors in real time to operate the probes and obtain image information for subsequent treatment decisions.

In this way, a Tibetan elderly person with heart discomfort does not need to go to a large hospital to obtain high-quality medical services. The key to achieving this scenario of

is due to the use of Mindray Medical's "Ruiying Cloud++" remote ultrasound platform. can fully meet the remote quality control, consultation, training and case discussion of ultrasound through this remote ultrasound platform.

To this day, the "Ruiying Cloud++" remote ultrasound platform has covered more than 20 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in my country, including Xinjiang and Tibet. In the past, patients in remote areas such as Tibet had to receive consultations from experts in first-tier cities, and had to travel for several days and nights, and wait in line. Now, with the help of "Ruiying Cloud++", it only takes a few minutes of video. Once the barriers in the region are broken by technology, the efficiency of medical assistance will increase by hundreds or thousands of times.

New medical infrastructure, the general trend is

Of course, most remote areas are still not so lucky.

Data from the National Health Commission released by the National Health Commission shows that as of the statistical period, there were 9.448 million beds in medical and health institutions across the country. In terms of conversion, the number of beds in medical and health institutions per thousand population is 6.7. At the same time, in 2021, there will be 3.04 practicing (assistant) physicians per thousand people and 3.56 registered nurses per thousand people.You may not have any idea about the data of

. Going further, the number of ICU beds per capita in China is 1/5 of that in Germany, the proportion of ICU beds in the United States is 1/9 of that in the United States, and the scale of medical devices per capita is 1/7 of that in the United States.

In addition, the structural problems of my country's medical and health service system are still prominent and regional configuration is unbalanced. According to the research report data of Oriental Securities , as of the end of 2021, the total number of medical and health institutions nationwide exceeded 1.03 million, of which tertiary hospitals have only 2,996, accounting for only 0.3%.

But it is these 0.3% of the hospitals that provide 34.2% of the beds and 26.3% of the number of people diagnosed and treated.

As the world's second largest economy, China's proportion of medical investment in GDP is significantly lower than that of developed countries in Europe and the United States, and the gap is still huge.

Fortunately, the current situation is being changed. After witnessing the huge harm and impact caused by the epidemic, governments across the country have realized the importance of strengthening public health construction. And in China, a new round of large-scale medical infrastructure has been surging.

In July 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Health Commission, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the National Administration of Disease Control and Prevention jointly compiled and issued the "Implementation Plan for the Construction of a Quality and Efficient Medical and Health Service System in the 14th Five-Year Plan". According to the preliminary estimates of the plan, during the "14th Five-Year Plan", the central budget investment in medical and health service construction alone will exceed 130 billion yuan.

In addition, in November 2021, the National Health Commission issued the "Thousand County Project" County Hospital Comprehensive Capacity Improvement Plan (2021-2025)", which clearly promoted the sinking of high-quality medical resources in provinces and cities to counties, and gradually realized the integration and sharing of medical resources within counties. The plan proposes that by 2025, at least 1,000 county-level hospitals will reach the medical service level of tertiary hospitals across the country.

policies are in place, and the national and local governments have also provided full support for the new medical infrastructure.

In addition to the central budget investment mentioned just now, since 2022, there have been more than 3,500 special medical and health bond projects, with an amount of up to 1.4 trillion yuan.

It is more worth mentioning that in September 2022, the State Council Executive Meeting decided to support the update and transformation of equipment in some fields through special re-loans and fiscal interest subsidies to achieve the goal of expanding market demand and increasing development potential.

In response, the Health Commission also issued a notice that it plans to use fiscal interest subsidy loan to update and transform medical equipment, which is expected to fully cover public and non-public medical institutions, with the loan amount of each hospital not less than 20 million yuan. The use of loans will include the purchase of various medical equipment such as diagnosis and treatment, clinical testing, severe illness, rehabilitation and scientific research transformation.

It is not difficult to imagine that this is an incremental market of hundreds of billions of dollars. Among them, the leading domestic industry companies are undoubtedly the ones that benefit the most.

On the one hand, the general trend of domestic production of medical devices is that more and more cost-effective domestic equipment appears in major hospitals. On the other hand, the medical device industry emphasizes product technology and channel accumulation, from a department to a hospital or a regional medical system. It is very difficult to enter a new product.

This point reflects the advantages of leading companies. Taking Mindray Medical as an example, its revenue in 2021 reached 25.3 billion yuan, ranking 34th among global medical device companies. At present, Mindray Medical's products and solutions have been applied to more than 190 countries and regions around the world. In the domestic market, Mindray products cover nearly 110,000 medical institutions in China and more than 99% of Grade A hospitals.

Of course, behind this is inseparable from the accumulation of technology. Check out Mindray's official website. To this day, it has 10 R&D centers around the world, nearly 3,500 R&D experts, and more than 7,900 patent applications. The annual R&D investment accounts for nearly 10% of its revenue!

Looking back, whether it is the revitalization of the Northeast or common prosperity, the core focus is the people's sense of gain and happiness. And to achieve this, a very critical premise is health. Without physical health and medical treatment, how can you talk about happiness?

With national policy support, enterprises' hard work and people's hard work and progress, we have reason to believe that the revitalization and common prosperity of the Northeast will definitely be achieved!
