Can all medical inventions be patented?

Most medical inventions can be patented.

Specifically, surgical methods, blood pressure measurement methods, endogenous screening and diagnosis methods, and drug administration schemes are all unauthorized diagnosis and treatment methods. There are two points to be clarified here. First, although the method cannot be authorized, products used for diagnosis and treatment, such as drugs, instruments, kits and other products, can be authorized, so patent protection can be obtained in the form of these products. Second, methods that do not directly aim at disease diagnosis, but only detect some intermediate results, are not regarded as "disease diagnosis methods" and can be authorized.
