CPEC promotes Pak-China cooperation in medical device industry: Chinese company

BEIJING, June 26 (APP): As Pakistan is a key partner in the current $400 billion global medical device industries, some Chinese homegrown medical device companies are developing the market and seeking cooperation in Pakistan, and they say CPEC has promoted cooperation between the two countries in this area.

A Chinese medical enterprise Medcaptain Medical Technology Co. Ltd. (Medcaptain), founded in 2011 as an “Integrated Perioperative Solutions Provider” and dedicated to pursuing innovation in Medication Delivery, In-Vitro Diagnostics, Airway Management, and DVT Prevention, was one of these companies after entering Pakistani market for 6 years, China Economic Net (CEN) reported.

Serinna Tan, Director of Branding & International Marketing of Medcaptain said that CPEC has greatly contributed to medical cooperation since under this national strategy Chinese medical enterprises like them can enjoy better opportunities to communicate with Pakistan counterparts and bring their medical products to hospitals in need of such devices.

For example, the smart medication infusion workstation they applied in ICU has largely improved medical efficiency and ensured safety for local hospitals.

Tan added that talent exchange is also a bonus under CPEC, with an increasing number of medical staff and experts from both countries being able to communicate with each other through all kinds of academic conferences.

“Besides, more direct and indirect investment in the medical sector can come into the Pakistani market under CPEC,” she said.

According to a report from BMI Research, Pakistan’s medical device market will record double-digit growth over the 2019-2024 period. The market will benefit from strong, though slowing, economic growth, as well as the construction and upgrading of healthcare facilities.

Talking of cooperation in this field, Barry Ke, Sales Manager of Middle East & South Asia of Medcaptain, mentioned that there’s a difference in the medical system between China and Pakistan. “While Pakistani public hospitals may require the more utilitarian function of medical equipment for routine operation, private hospitals demand high-end brands,” Ke said.

“Thus we hope our medical products and technology can better satisfy local hospital’s clinical needs, and we are also planning to establish long-term strategic partnership with some high-end hospitals so that we can conduct more exchanges and communications,” Tan said, adding that they also aim at establishing an industry-university-research cooperation base with Pakistani hospital.

Besides, localization construction is also one focus for many Chinese companies who are seeking cooperation, such as local talent teams and factory building, which can bring employment and improve people’s livelihood.

Another Chinese medical company Chengdu Xinjin Shifeng Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. has jointly established a factory with a local partner in Pakistan since 2006, for which Pakistan provides land, human and market resources required for production, while China provides technology and equipment.

After years of mutual efforts, products manufactured by the factory have reached four major provinces and most military hospitals. Among them, the blood bag white blood cell filter produced by them helped Pakistan get rid of the long-term dependence on imports from Japan.

According to the National Medical Products Administration of China, China’s medical device industry has shown outstanding performance in recent years, with more than 25,000 medical device manufacturers and 897,000 operating enterprises in China at present.

Pakistan Day: A Reminiscence of the Heroic Struggle of Muslims of the Subcontinent

Pakistan Day, observed annually on March 23rd, holds a place of immense significance in the history of Pakistan. It marks the passing of the Lahore Resolution in 1940, which laid the foundation for the creation of an independent state for Muslims of the Indian subcontinent. This historic day serves as a reminder of the heroic struggle, sacrifices, and unwavering resolve of the Muslims who aspired for a separate homeland where they could live with dignity and practice their religion freely.

The Lahore Resolution: A Milestone in the Freedom Struggle

The All India Muslim League, under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, convened its annual session in Lahore from March 22 to 24, 1940. On March 23rd, the historic resolution was passed at Minto Park (now known as Iqbal Park), demanding separate states for Muslims in the northwestern and eastern regions of India. This resolution, often referred to as the “Pakistan Resolution,” became the cornerstone of the Pakistan Movement and galvanized Muslims into an organized struggle for their rights.

The Heroic Struggle and Sacrifices of the Muslims

The road to independence was not an easy one. The Muslims of the subcontinent faced tremendous challenges, including political opposition, social hardships, and economic constraints. The demand for a separate homeland was met with strong resistance from both the British colonial rulers and the Indian National Congress. However, the unwavering commitment of Muslim leaders and activists fueled the movement with newfound energy and resilience.

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, through his unmatched leadership and unwavering determination, guided the Muslims towards their goal. He emphasized the importance of unity, faith, and discipline, inspiring millions to rally behind the cause. Countless individuals sacrificed their lives, endured imprisonment, and faced brutal oppression, all for the dream of an independent Pakistan.

The Creation of Pakistan: A Dream Realized

The struggle for independence culminated in the emergence of Pakistan on August 14, 1947. The dream envisioned in the Lahore Resolution turned into a reality, marking the beginning of a new era for the Muslims of the subcontinent. The creation of Pakistan was not just the establishment of a new country; it was the fulfillment of a long-cherished aspiration for freedom, identity, and sovereignty.

Pakistan Day: A Tribute to the Nation’s Heroes

March 23rd is celebrated with great enthusiasm across Pakistan. The day begins with special prayers for the prosperity and security of the country, followed by military parades, flag-hoisting ceremonies, and cultural events. The highlight of the day is the grand parade in Islamabad, where the armed forces display their prowess, and national leaders pay tribute to the sacrifices of the past.

Pakistan Day serves as a moment of reflection and gratitude. It reminds the nation of the core principles that led to the creation of Pakistan—unity, faith, and discipline. It is also a call to action for the younger generation to uphold the values of hard work, patriotism, and national integrity to ensure a prosperous future for the country.

Pakistan Day is more than just a historical milestone; it is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Muslims of the subcontinent. It is a day to honor the sacrifices of the past and reaffirm the commitment to building a strong and progressive Pakistan. As the nation moves forward, it must continue to uphold the principles of justice, equality, and unity that were at the heart of the Pakistan Movement.

May Pakistan continue to shine as a beacon of hope, strength, and prosperity for generations to come. Pakistan Zindabad!
