MTaI MedTech Summit 2017

Medical Technology Association of India (MTaI) is organizing its maiden annual event ‘MTaI MedTech Summit 2017’ scheduled to be held on September 15, 2017, at Ball Room, Shangri-La’s – Eros Hotel, Ashoka Road, New Delhi. MTaI is for greater patient access and represents a wide spectrum of medical devices & equipment, has taken this opportunity to call upon stakeholders for a 360° discussion and deliberation about the MedTech sector in India.

The healthcare sector drives on four major wheels – the provider (hospitals), the pharmaceutical industry, the medical technology (MedTech) industry and the Health Insurance industry. Among these, the MedTech industry is the smallest, but in some ways the most vital wheel. Medical technology has undoubtedly had an incredible impact on patients’ lives but is still little understood.

Due to the limited understanding of the MedTech sector in India, it neither gets the impetus that is required for its growth nor the recognition that it rightfully deserves.

The theme of the Summit is ‘MedTech – Demystifying the MedTech Sector’. The objective of the Summit is to demystify this sector by educating and creating awareness about it amongst decision & policy makers, industry, healthcare providers, and the public at large.

The summit will include sessions on cardiovascular, ophthalmology, orthopaedic implants, oncology, endoscopic surgery and bariatric surgery as focus themes to present a case-in-point for each, and to reinstate how quality is critical for better outcomes in these situations.

The power packed sessions will be delivered and moderated by key presenters which will include government officials from key ministries, leaders from the MedTech industry, doctors and patients.
