Comments on the Draft “‘Two Invoice System’ for Purchasing of Drugs and High Value Consumable Medical Devices in Hainan Province”

The Healthcare Equipment Working Group submitted comments on the draft “‘Two Invoice System’ for Purchasing of Drugs and High Value Consumable Medical Devices in Hainan Province”.

The medical device industry is concerned that the same regulations shall apply to both drugs and medical devices, not considering that distributors of medical devices have to provide training and after-sales service to hospitals, requiring qualification by the manufacturer.

The industry is further concerned that there is no transitional period, possibly interupting supply of life-saving medical devices to hospitals.
