Beijing is piloting the rental of surgical robots for hospital use, and several top-tier hospitals have already started related work.

According to Mars Finance on May 26, the Beijing Municipal Hospital Management Center recently announced a pilot program for the leasing of surgical robots in hospitals in Beijing. Several top-tier hospitals have already begun related work, and the program will be expanded to cover more surgical departments in the future. It is understood that Beijing will conduct a three-year pilot program for surgical robot leasing, initially focusing on municipal hospitals in Beijing. Public hospitals within the city's administrative region can refer to this program based on their specific circumstances. Supported surgical robots should meet government procurement standards for domestic products, be substantially manufactured within China, possess advanced and innovative technology, and have clear intellectual property rights. The pilot program aims to gradually achieve the leasing of surgical robots in hospitals with corresponding basic clinical needs, covering more surgical departments, establishing management systems and operational mechanisms suitable for surgical robot leasing, and developing replicable and scalable best practices.
