Dr SD Gupt, a Trustee Secretary, commented that the upcoming years and generations completely belong to the medical devices that are going to transform the entire hospital and healthcare.
Medical devices create and completely reshape the healthcare outcomes, like access and affordability, and India should support and build a strong understanding of regulatory quality systems and management capabilities.
This creates a platform for students, medical professionals, and other clinicians to upgrade themselves and get into various fields with certifications. The different areas include skilling programs, supply chain management of medical devices in the healthcare sector, quality systems, regulatory affairs, and commercial technologies.
Applied research will focus on the adoption of this technology with medical devices and quality assurance, the impact on regulations, and generating evidence to support domestic manufacturing scale-up and well-informed policy decisions.
