At present, the association has a total of 104 members, including key enterprises in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry such as Yabang Pharmaceutical, Huasen Medical, and Hengtai Pharmaceutical Chain.

On July 5th, Changzhou Yanling Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., the chairman unit of the District Medical Equipment Industry Association, donated 1 million yuan to the School of Medicine and Health Engineering of Changzhou University to establish the "Yanling Excellence" special scholarship, encouraging outstanding students to firmly adhere to their academic ideals and promoting the development of high-end medical and health industries in the Changwu region.

The development of the medical and health industry is a "consolidation" process that requires the technical cooperation of multiple disciplines such as medicine, biochemistry, and machinery. Since 2003, Yanling Electronics has been collaborating with the School of Medicine and Health Engineering of Changzhou University on the production, research and development project of electrosurgical conductive electrode plates and high-frequency electrode cleaning sheets, achieving import substitution of conductive electrode plates. As of now, the annual production of conductive electrode plates can reach 1.5 million pieces, and the annual production of high-frequency electrode cleaning pieces can reach 370000 pieces.
