Shipping of medical equipment and instruments from China

Chinese enterprises are developing and expanding their production of medical equipment for clinics and laboratories. Today, more than 30 % of medical equipment on the global market comes from China. In terms of quality and functionality, Chinese products are as good as their Western and European counterparts, and are substantially cheaper.

Independent cooperation with suppliers from China can carry many risks due to ignorance of the Chinese language and mentality and possible errors in paperwork. Asia-West will take care of the purchase and shipping of medical equipment from China to the UAE.

What medical equipment can be ordered in China

Chinese suppliers focus primarily on the consumer’s interests, so new developments quickly go into mass production. The fierce competition is an incentive to keep quality high, while the cheap labour, supply of domestic raw materials and large production volumes help keep prices low.

More and more clinics in the UEA are purchasing high-tech medical equipment from China. Local manufacturers produce:

• dental equipment: chairs, drills, abrasives;
• resuscitation equipment: ventilators, surgical tables, diagnostic tools;
• equipment for medical laboratories (spirometers, stethoscopes, test strips);
• autoclaves for processing instruments;
• radiological equipment: CT and X-ray scanners;
• first aid equipment;
• consumables: masks, protective clothing, gloves, syringes.

Major medical equipment manufacturers in China include: JinTai, Fengdan (Pragmatic), Mindray, SonoScape, Edan, Landwind.

During this time, we have established a network of reliable and responsible suppliers, and respectful, trust-based relationships with sellers and manufacturers. Our employees are fluent in spoken Chinese and English, which eliminates misunderstandings during negotiations and contracting.

Our managers monitor the market and analyze price quotes.
