Meeting with the HFPC of Hunan Province on Purchasing of Disposable Medical Devices

The Delegation of the Chamber introduced the Healthcare Equipment Working Group and presented a copy of the Chamber's "Position Paper 2016" to Mr He.

Mr He introduced the main focus areas of the work of the Department of Drug and Health Policy.

Hunan's purchasing policy is basically following the pattern of other provinces, no very special regulations and requirements. The schedule when online purchasing will start has not been decided.

Main points of discussion:

- The HCE WG recommends a gradual transition to online purchasing, starting with limited product groups.

- which product catalogue will Hunan HFPC use? So far the HFPC has no preference, the HCE Working Groups offered to assist Hunan HFPC to obtain latest versions of available product catalugues

- inclusion of new innovative products in the purchasing catalogue. The HCE recommeded regular updates of the purchasing catalogue and low barriers for new products to be included in the catalogue
