SHANGHAI, July 6th (AMSP/CGTN) – – The potential of BRICS partnerships has extended into the medical field… with growing cooperation in radiology and public health services between China and Brazil. On Saturday, a Chinese medical technology company launched a new subsidiary in Brazil… marking a significant step in expanding healthcare cooperation. The move aims to boost access to radiology treatment and public health services across Latin America. Bi Ran has more.
Opening the Brazilian branch is a “crucial part” of United Imaging Healthcare’s global strategy, said Dr. Xia Jusong, the company’s President of International Business. In recent years, medical cooperation between Chinese enterprises and Brazil has deepened significantly, with major projects centred on medical imaging, AI applications, and cross-border healthcare becoming increasingly mainstream. So, how is this Chinese healthcare giant riding the wave of global innovation?
“The company’s iconic total-body PET/CT system has already been adopted by world-class institutions such as UC Davis. Now, it’s setting its sights on Brazil and the broader Latin American market,” says Dr. Xia Jusong, President of International Business, United Imaging Healthcare.
Data from the Grand View Research shows the medical imaging market in Brazil is expected to reach a projected revenue of one billion, two hundred seventy-seven million by 2030. And in Latin America, Brazil’s medical imaging market is projected to lead the regional market in terms of revenue in 2030. Hospitals in Brazil are undergoing a transformative journey.
“I believe the artificial intelligence built into United Imaging’s equipment has greatly supported clinical progress—bringing speed to examinations and delivering high-quality imaging at the same time,” says Gilberto Otta, Radiologist in Neuroradiology/The Portuguese Charity of São Paulo.
United Imaging’s technology enhances image quality and streamlines workflows in Brazilian hospitals, enabling more consistent clinical outcomes. With global supply chains and manufacturing capabilities, the company plans to expand its presence across Latin America.
China may be a newcomer to the Latin American medical equipment market, but with cutting-edge technologies, reliable supply chains, and growing expertise, it is poised to seize more opportunities in the future.
