Letter From the Editor


A Chicken in Every Pot

One of the world's largest economies, infused with stimulus money, is investing to bring health care to the masses. Of course I am speaking of the Peoples Republic of China.

DOTmed News has two important stories today on China's market for medical equipment. Actually, we're not certain that the PRC's decision to ease some importation restrictions applies to medical technology. We can only hope.

Follow that story and an OEM market report in DOTmed News and let us know your observations if you do business in the PRC.

See you tomorrow.
