中国医疗设备制造商正日益在世界各地的医院里向美国、欧洲和日本竞争对手发起挑战,将北京的技术实力延伸至又一个行业。

Chinese medical equipment makers are increasingly challenging US, European, and Japanese competitors in hospitals around the world, extending Beijing’s technological prowess to yet another industry.

治疗中心长期以来依赖通用电气、西门子和飞利浦的设备,如今部分中心开始采用上海联影医疗等企业的机器,其CT扫描仪可在五分钟内完成全身扫描,而传统设备需要20分钟。

While treatment centers long relied on machines from GE, Siemens, and Philips, some are now embracing machines like Shanghai-based United Imaging Healthcare’s CT scanners, which can perform full-body scans in five minutes versus the 20 it takes conventional equipment.

政策支持——包括要求部分中国医院使用国产产品——推动了行业发展,中国医院设备出口额去年超过240亿美元。

Policy support — including mandating some Chinese hospitals to use domestic products — has lifted the industry, with China’s exports of hospital equipment hitting more than $24 billion last year.

不过,在全球市场建立信任对中国出口商而言仍是挑战:“我们不是说要完全更换,而是在实现多元化,”一位香港医院首席执行官对日经新闻表示。
