Ischemic cardiovascular diseases are the leading killer of Indonesians, causing 37% of death annually. In recent years, there is growing demand for cardiovascular interventional products in the Indonesia market with the rapid development of the local healthcare market. Currently, several cardiovascular interventional products in-house developed by MicroPort, including Firehawk, Firebird2, and FOXTROT PRO PTCA Balloon Dilatation Catheter, have entered the Indonesia market, and have won high recognition from patients and physicians with their outstanding performance. In January 2014, Indonesia launched its universal healthcare program to provide health insurance to all Indonesian by January 2019. MicroPort would take this opportunity to further cultivate the market in the 'Belt and Road' initiative to provide high-quality and cost-effective medical solutions to local patients with cardiovascular diseases.
