Core data of this paper: national level surgical robot industry policy; Provincial level surgical robot industry policy; Development planning

1. Policy history map

Surgical robot is a kind of precision medical equipment, which is invented by the development of microtrauma surgery and related basic technology. Surgical robots are used to achieve precision surgical instrument control beyond human capabilities in narrow surgical sites. In 2012, China introduced policies to encourage the accelerated development of cutting-edge innovative products such as precision surgical robots. Since 2017, China has gradually encouraged the industrialization of domestic blank laparoscopic surgical robots and neurosurgical surgical robots. In January 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly issued the "Robot +" application Action Implementation Plan "to encourage hospitals with conditions and needs to use robots to implement precision minimally invasive surgery. Construction of standardized operating rooms for robot application, research on clinical application standards and norms for surgical robots to strengthen the application of robots in the overall injury course service system for pre-hospital management of patients, hospital diagnosis and treatment, and post-hospital rehabilitation tracking, and help the construction of smart medical treatment.

2. Policy summary and interpretation at the national level

-- Summary of policies related to surgical robots at the national level

The current national level of surgical robot industry policies can be mainly divided into encouraging category and normative category. Under the role of national policy guidance and market laws, China's surgical robot industry has gradually standardized, and China's medical devices, including surgical robots, have continued to innovate and develop.

-- Interpretation of development goals of surgical robot related industries at the national level

In January 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments issued the "Robot +" application action implementation plan ", "Plan" pointed out that China should face the needs of social livelihood improvement and economic development, select key areas with a certain basis, wide application coverage, and strong radiation driving effect, focusing on typical application scenarios and user needs. Carry out systematic promotion work from robot product development, technological innovation, scene application to model promotion. Support the exploration of robot applications in some emerging fields, including surgical robots in the medical and health field.

The impact of the national "14th Five-Year Plan" on the development of surgical robot industry is as follows:

3. Summary and interpretation of policies at the provincial and municipal level

-- Summary of policies related to surgical robots in provinces and cities

In recent years, various provinces in China have actively introduced various policies to encourage the development of the surgical robot industry.

-- Interpretation of the development goals of surgical robot related industries in provinces and cities

In addition, all provinces and cities in the country have given certain support to surgical robots; Taking Shanghai as an example, Shanghai will actively develop intelligent medical robots such as micro-scale surgical robots, single-hole endoscopic surgical robots, rehabilitation intervention and auxiliary robots, and nanorobots during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
