Chennai, May 4 (Ians) The National Medical Devices Policy should benefit the ultimate consumer in terms of lower prices by capping the maximum retail prices (Mrp) of the devices, a top official of the Association of Indian Medical Devices Industry (AiMeD) said on Thursday.
Talking to reporters, Forum Coordinator Rajiv Nath, while applauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the policy, also added that the consumer should need to benefit from this policy.
“So far there is no restriction or capping on the Mrp prices of medical devices from the government,” he said.
According to Nath, some hospitals are more concerned about their profits and less on the affordability needs of the patient and consume high Mrp goods.
“We have been seeking a system whereby ethical manufacturers and importers can offer low-priced Mrp products and still they are able to sell. We have been seeking Mrp of imports to be monitored and...

Chennai, Feb 1 (Ians) The Union Budget for 2023-24 is a disappointing one for the Indian medical devices industry as the expectations and assurances given earlier have not been fulfilled, Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AiMeD) Forum Coordinator Rajiv Nath said on Wednesday.
According to him, the FY24 budget has given a cold shoulder to the domestic medical devices industry.
The only positive announcement was plans for skilling of manpower for manufacturing of medical technologies, he said.
“It is highly disheartening that against industry’s expectations and assurance by the various government departments, the government has not announced any measures to help end the 80-85 per cent import dependence forced upon India and an ever-increasing import bill of over Rs 63,200 crore,” Nath said.
Though Prime Minister Narendra Modi urges India to become Atmanirbhar in medical devices, the medical devices imports continued to grow at an “alarming” level by 41 per cent...
