Medical Fair India
Applauds The Formation Of The Medical Devices Export
Promotion Council
Medical Fair India would like
to congratulate the stakeholders on the newly formed
India’s Export Promotion Council (EPC) for medical devices
under the aegis of the Union Ministry of Commerce,
Government of India. Led by the Department of
Pharmaceuticals, the council will play a very important
role and will be the voice of all manufacturers to
encourage the ‘Make in India’ initiatives to a global
landscape. This Council has special panels to promote
specific categories of medical devices like disposables,
consumables, orthopaedic implants, IVD equipment, surgical
instruments and to also promote policy advocacy,
technology upgradation, transfer and start-ups.
The EPC promises to help
exporters in promoting their products in international
markets through various activities including organizing
and participating in international trade fairs, and
buyer-seller meets, in line with the foreign trade policy
of India. Therefore, Medical Fair India and our worldwide
events under the
umbrella of MEDICAlliance will further enable the
manufacturers to showcase their products and services to a
global platform including India and to create new business
opportunities.
Thomas Schlitt,
Managing Director, Messe Düsseldorf India says “I would
like to congratulate everyone involved in the very
successful formation of the Medical Devices Export
Promotion Council (MDEPC). The Indian medical devices
market is the fourth largest in Asia. It is among the top
20 markets in the world. About 80 percent of the market is
dominated by imported medical devices, significantly
affecting the profits of many small-scale manufacturers of
medical devices in the country. We are extremely happy
that Mr. Rajiv Nath, Forum Coordinator AIMED and Chairman
of the Advisory Committee of Medical Fair India, plays a
pivotal role in the creation of this Council along with
the Department of Pharmaceutical, Government of India. I
believe it is important for MDEPC to be engaged to unleash
the huge export and investment potential for manufacturing
medical devices for the global market.”
Rajiv Nath, Forum
Coordinator of the Association of Indian Medical Device
Industry (AiMeD) and Chairman of the Advisory Committee of
Medical Fair India said: “It is great news, a big boost to
Indian Medical Devices Manufacturing. The long-sought and
requested Medical Devices Export Promotion Council is
finally sanctioned to be created under the aegis of DoP,
Govt. of India in Delhi NCR at the YEIDA Medical Device
Park near upcoming Jewar International Airport. This
strategic step will go a long way in accelerating the
exports and manufacturing growth of the medical devices
sector.”
Our best wishes to the
Council in their new role and we believe that this crucial
step will go a long way in accelerating the exports and
act as the facilitation, promotion, and developmental body
for the Indian medical device industry.
