After attending the Symposium on China-Africa Partnership: Improving Accessibility of Medicines, which was sponsored by the National Health Commission (NHC) International Health Exchange and Cooperation Center (IHECC) on November 23, 2016, Ningbo David Medical Device Co., Ltd. (David Medical), on November 24, invited the health ministers and relevant officials from several African countries to visit the company to learn on-site China’s great progress in manufacturing newborn care products, effectively promoting Sino-African medical exchange in the field and laying a firm foundation for the upcoming vast and deep cooperation.
The African Ministers Delegation, during the visit to Ningbo David, inspected all the spare parts workshops, robotized automation processing and assembly workshops, automatic spraying and painting workshops, electronics workshops, product inspection center, warehousing & logistics center, etc., and were deeply impressed with our modern, fast manufacturing workshops and our highly qualified and hardworking workers.
After the inspection, the ministers had a three-hour meeting with Ningbo David’s executives, technical and overseas sales staff in the meeting room for extensive and in-depth communication and discussions, and hoped to promote through vis-à-vis exchange the Sino-African cooperation in medical devices. Ningbo David will, under the quality policy of “safe and effective, innovative and leading, quality before quantity”, the corporate tenet of “providing users with high-quality products and excellent services” and the attitude of being sincere, enterprising, pragmatic and innovative, transform the production of medical devices for newborn care from Made in China to Smartly Manufactured in China. During the meeting, our sales team, based on their experience, offered advices to these African ministers on “reducing trade barriers in their countries”, “opening fast trade channels” and “free trade in African region”, and hoped these suggestions and the practical supports from Chinese medical enterprises would significantly reduce Africa’s medical procurement and operation costs, lift African medical service level, bring more benefits to African population, promote African medical and health services and contribute to the Sino-African friendship and the development of the world medical and health undertakings.
