Narendra Modi, have given a much−needed boost to the manufacturing of medical devices in the country. In the medical devices and equipment segment, expansion of diagnostic and pathology centres as well as miniaturised diagnostics have high potential for growth. This is India’s moment for establishing supremacy in the healthcare field. Expos such as Medical Fair India play an important role in furthering collaboration and innovation within the industry. I am delighted to witness Medical Fair India’s impressive rate of growth over the years. This year, in 2024, it would be the 7th consecutive year for ‘Make In India’ pavilion (Supported by Aimed) at Medical Fair India 2024 will feature some of the indigenous innovation that will help shape the future of Indian healthcare. Alongside, the huge participation from 16 countries will bring together best of the minds, technologies and new arenas for collaborations, which is set to make a huge contribution in projecting India’s prowess in the global medical care landscape.
