The WHO country office along with the health ministry and NHSRC announced the starting of the collaborating centre which has been working over the past two years to introduce health technology assessment and partnering to promote other health technology projects. NHSRC and WHO Country Office have been jointly conducting Health Technology Assessment Fellowships once every six months and over 300 professionals have been trained so far from across scientific institutions in the country.
"It is critical to have the specifications in place for the medical devices and equipment that are already procured and used in the health system. There is also need for dedicated Medical devices testing laboratories to ensure the safety and efficacy of these devices" said health secretary BP Sharma.
The Division of Healthcare Technology and Innovation at NHSRC has been working on framing technical specifications for technologies procured under National Health Mission; best practices for technology life cycle management and maintenance, supporting the health ministry on issues related to free essential diagnostics and so on. The division is looking to strengthen the regulatory system in India so that procurement in India is not dependent on regulatory bodies abroad like the USFDA or certifying authority like CE. The aim of all these initiatives has been to improve access to healthcare technologies and improving public health.
"There is a need for appropriate and applicable health care technology in India. The medical devices industry is underinvested and heavily import driven at present, but with the current Make in India campaign, there is a huge opportunity for growth and expansion of the medical device industry. This would highly improve the access of essential medical devices and healthcare technology to patients in India," said Dr Nata Menabde, WHO Representative to India.
