I think it is about the custom process and not a medical term.

neutral  Richard Benham: It does seem to be about customs, but your suggestion is a radical departure from the literal meaning and would need more context to justify it.

agree  Bourth (X): Yes. Ample justification below, Richard. Radical departure is what translation is all about, as a supposed professional like you should know.

active improvement


Explanation:
<<F2./E3.
"perfectionnement actif": le régime douanier qui permet de recevoir dans un territoire douanier, en suspension des droits et taxes à l’ importation, certaines marchandises destinées à subir une transformation, une ouvraison ou une réparation et à être ultérieurement exportées;>>
[http://www.wcoomd.org/ie/Fr/SujetsDouaniers/FacilitationProc...]

There ARE loads of hits for "active improvement" but I'm not yet convinced it is the authoritative term. Still looking.

Make that INWARD PROCESSING, as above:
<<E3./
F2.
“inward processing” means the Customs procedure under which certain goods can be brought into a Customs territory conditionally relieved from payment of import duties and taxes, on the basis that such goods are intended for manufacturing, processing or repair and subsequent exportation.>>
