Medical device maker eyes bigger presence with new clinical training center

Medtronic Plc is setting up a world-class clinical training center in China next year, as the global medical device maker looks to further tap into the growing Chinese market.

The clinical training center will be in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan province, and will be the company's second in the country after one in Shanghai, which was set up in 2005.

The clinical training center in Chengdu aims to offer a platform for medical technology clinical training and research and development for medical practitioners in Sichuan and other regions in central and western China.
