MTaI MedTekon 2018: MedTech - Vitalizing Ayushman Bharat

Successful Universal Health Coverage (UHC) has so far eluded India, however, with the path-breaking arrival of the Ayushman Bharat Program, the country’s healthcare landscape & ecosystem is about to undergo tremendous change.

Medical Technology Association of India (MTaI) represents a wide spectrum of medical device companies in India, having a strong manufacturing, Healthcare worker training footprint and stands for greater patient access and quality care. In the pursuit of its mission, MTaI is organizing its Annual MedTech Conference, The MTaI MedTekon 2018 - ‘MedTech Vitalizing Ayushman Bharat’ on September 20, 2018, at Shangri La’s Eros Hotel, Ashoka Road, New Delhi.

The healthcare sector drives on four wheels - the providers (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 incredible impact on patients’ lives and is vital to Ayushman Bharat’s success.

MTaI is, therefore, organizing the MTaI MedTekon 2018 - ‘MedTech Vitalizing Ayushman Bharat’, which will bring patients, industry, doctors & policy makers together, all on the same platform. The theme of the Conference is ‘Contribution of MedTech Industry in the successful implementation of Ayushman Bharat program’. The objective of the Summit is to carve out a roadmap, in consultation with the government and other stakeholders for the MedTech industry to contribute to the successful implementation of Ayushman Bharat Program.

MTaI takes this opportunity to call upon all stakeholders to this unique platform to discuss and deliberate upon the opportunities and challenges in the implementation of Ayushman Bharat Program and how to support it to enable last mile coverage.
