Medical equipment procurement and financing are critical components of healthcare operations and capital planning. These transactions often involve complex contracting structures, regulatory scrutiny, and multi-party risk allocation. We advise hospitals, medical platforms, equipment suppliers, and financial institutions—both domestic and international—on structuring and implementing compliant, commercially sound arrangements under China’s evolving legal and policy framework. Our team also supports overseas brands and technology providers in navigating cross-border licensing, import compliance, and IP protection when introducing medical devices into the Chinese market.
