NMDPC to boost domestic medical device manufacturing industry, Make in India initiatives, says AiMeD

Our Bureau, New Delhi December 17 , 2018

The domestic medical device manufacturing industry has cheered the Central government’s decision to create the National Medical Devices Promotion Council (NMDPC) which will provide an impetus to the sector and support Make in India initiatives.

Minister of Commerce and Industry Suresh Prabhu officially announced the establishment of the NMDPC at World Health Organisation global conference on medical devices at Visakhapatnam.

“We are delighted that the Department of Industry Policy and Promotion has decided to strengthen the Indian medical devices sector by facilitating domestic manufacturers to rise to international level and discouraging unfair trade practices in import and lead India to an export driven market in the sector by enabling the establishment of the NMDPC. We have been seeking this for quite some time and the timing is very perfect considering the WHO Global Conference on Medical Devices being hosted by India,” Rajiv Nath, Forum Coordinator, Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AiMeD) said in a statement.

“We do acknowledge the role played by the various news articles in the last few days that have helped bring focus to this long-neglected Indian medical devices sector and help accelerate the process of establishing the council by the DIPP. We wholeheartedly thank DIPP Secretary Ramesh Abhishek for responding to the needs of the industry. We are glad the government is taking serious steps to make India a global robust hub for medical devices manufacturing and fulfilling the government’s ambitious mission of making quality healthcare affordable for common masses,” Nath added.
