The Indian government has introduced the MedTech Mitra platform, aiming to empower the country’s MedTech innovators and reduce reliance on imported medical devices. The platform was launched on Monday as part of a strategic initiative.
Speaking at the inaugural event, Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya highlighted the significance of the MedTech Mitra platform. He stated, “MedTech Mitra is a platform that will help the young talents of the country by holding their hands to give final shape to their research and help them in getting regulatory approval.” Mandaviya praised the initiative and the efforts of innovators and youth, emphasizing the potential of India’s innovators, researchers, and youth startups in research and logical development.
Mandaviya expressed his belief in the transformative potential of the platform, stating, “If one gets help at the approval stage itself, then wonders can be achieved which will take India miles ahead in becoming Atmanirbhar and achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat.” The initiative aligns with the government’s vision of fostering self-reliance and advancing the development of India.
The MedTech Mitra platform is expected to play a crucial role in nurturing and supporting the growth of India’s medical technology sector, enabling the country to make significant strides in innovation and self-sufficiency.
