Editor’s Note:

China Association of Medical Equipment (CAME) delivered an exemplary presentation at the Meeting on People-to-People Diplomacy of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee on March 28. Let’s take a closer look at CAME’s impressive stories and experience the charm of people-to-people international exchanges.

CAME is a national social organization registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Guided by the mission to “improve service of medical and healthcare institutions, and promote innovative development of medical equipment industry”, it collaborates with multinational healthcare enterprises and international organizations,  and engages in exchanges with Belt and Road countries. Through academic exchanges, it aims to foster industrial cooperation and actively advance the high-quality development of Beijing’s medical equipment industry.

I. Promoting Practical Cooperation in the Medical Equipment Sector

CAME signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ministry of Health of Belarus, and has since coordinated and organized multiple expert delegations from relevant fields in Belarus to visit China for technological exchanges and collaboration. These efforts aim to support the joint production of medical equipment and pharmaceutical products in Belarus.
