Sechenov University to conduct reverse engineering of ventilators, anaesthesia and respiratory systems, and other medical equipment
A joint Russian-Chinese project on reverse engineering and localised production of high-tech medical equipment has been launched at I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University).
Specialists will focus on the development, improvement, and small-scale production of critical medical devices, including mechanical ventilators, anaesthesia and respiratory systems, patient monitors, endoscopes, and consumables.
According to Aleksander Kulish, Director of Technology Commercialisation at Sechenov University, the project aims not only to establish the production of in-demand equipment but also to achieve technological sovereignty for Russia in the field of medical equipment manufacturing. He clarified that Sechenov University will also set up a service department for technical maintenance.
"Our leading engineers, as well as doctors, will be involved in enhancing these devices. The participation of clinicians – the end users of medical equipment – will help ensure the development of truly high-quality and user-friendly products," Kulish noted.
The initiative is being implemented at the university’s Centre for Engineering Development and Design Bureau, in collaboration with a major medical equipment manufacturer from China and other partners of Sechenov University. The production of key components and final products will be localised at industrial sites in Moscow and the Moscow region.

Joao Paulo CapobiancoBrazilian Minister of the Environment and Climate Change"The BRICS countries have a very high level of responsibility because they share an important part of the world's biodiversity, landscapes, populations, food production and water resources. So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
