GE HealthCare pursues partnership with Chinese state-owned medtech firm

GE HealthCare is entering a joint venture with state-owned China National Medical Device Co., part of Chinese medical giant Sinopharm, to “develop, manufacture, and commercialize medical equipment to address the growing needs of China’s healthcare market,” according to a Feb. 24 Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

GE HealthCare has a current relationship with Sinopharm through Hangwei, a medical device manufacturing company founded in 1991. Initially, the partnership will focus on providing ultrasound technologies to rural primary care providers in China.

Chinese state regulators will still have to approve the deal. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
