NEW DELHI: The MedTech sector is a key pillar of health transformation in India, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare JP Nadda said on September 16. Addressing the inaugural session of the 11th Asia Pacific MedTech Forum (APACMed) 2025 via a video message, he highlighted the importance of the MedTech sector for accessible, affordable healthcare and innovation.
“The MedTech sector is a key pillar of health transformation in India. The sector’s broad scope encompasses diagnostics, advanced devices, digital health, and AI-driven solutions — all contributing to making healthcare more accessible, efficient, and affordable for every citizen,” Nadda said. He stated that the sector has become a trusted provider of high-quality healthcare, supported by the Government’s focus on access, innovation, and infrastructure development.
Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel highlighted several major Government initiatives undertaken to strengthen India’s MedTech and medical devices sector. These include a new scheme for supporting component manufacturing, development of common infrastructure, branding, and conducting critical market and clinical studies.
“India is emerging as not only a high-volume manufacturer but also a high-value player in the global MedTech market. The next leap will come from collaborations, and I invite all stakeholders to join India in co-creating solutions that will serve both our 1.4 billion citizens and the broader healthcare needs of emerging markets,” said Patel.
