1045 - 1200 hrs: Plenary Session I: Positioning India as a Manufacturing and Export Hub
Background: There is tremendous potential for India in the medical technology sector, especially as a major
manufacturing hub. India's cost advantages and talent pool in healthcare (particularly Pharma) has been
proven many times over. However, local manufacturing and exports in the medical technology sector in India
have not picked up and remain far below their potential. Supporting “policy” is required to develop the
ecosystem and re-build investment interest amongst both international and domestic players. Additionally, a
supporting ecosystem with availability of appropriate skills and a robust components supply base will need to
be developed.
To enable this, a policy regime which encourages investment in manufacturing using incentives, access to low
cost capital, easing of the rules for technology transfers and fast regulatory clearances will be critical to trigger
investments in this sector.
This Session will discuss the key roadblocks to investments in manufacturing and identify the key levers to
shape the right ecosystem to support the industry. Additionally, the focus will be to identify a set of policy
changes as well as an incentive roadmap to make the medical technology manufacturing and export a vibrant
sector.

1200 - 1315 hrs: Plenary Session II: Overcoming Regulatory Barriers to Growth
India needs a regulatory framework for medical devices that is predictable, transparent, globally harmonized and
appropriate for medical devices preferably based upon a separate medical device regulatory act and governed by
an independent regulatory body with specialized regulators. This needs to be complemented with a multistakeholder consultative approach towards pricing and reimbursement, that is cognizant of all the components
across the value chain, from manufacturing to the patient. It is only through such an approach that the government
can strike a balance between access, growth and regulation.

1445 - 1600 hrs: Plenary Session III: Partnering for Growth – Joining the Dots
Background: Healthcare outcomes depends upon three pillars viz.” hospital infrastructure”, “human
infrastructure in the hospital” and “medical technology” the wherewithal to successfully conduct all the
medical processes also needs finance. When, all these four important notes play well, play in harmony,
there is success, when any of these notes is discordant success eludes us.
Therefore, a coherent well-coordinated partnership is required between these elements; this panel
discussion brings together the healthcare providers, the medical staff as well as the government providers
and facilitators together with the medical technology industry to see how these elements can come
together and match their steps with each other to march towards success.
This Panel discussion will bring together the expectations from the medical technology industry as well as
innovation priorities that the Stakeholders believe that the industry should pursue for enhancing healthcare
delivery in the country across all States.

1630 – 1730 hrs : Valedictory Session : Innovation Successes and Strategies
India has been known for innovation across many product categories. Advanced pharmaceuticals, low cost
cars have been developed for the Indian market and exported globally. This capability must be distilled and
brought to bear on the medical technology sector where local innovation has been limited.
It is important for Indian medical technology companies to use partnerships to plug gaps in capabilities,
innovate their business models and develop affordable and accessible products for the domestic and global
market.
This will require close coordinated working with our academic institutions as well as a Policy regime that
supports low cost financing, development of talent in R&D, supporting fiscal policy regulations and an
effective institutional mechanism for bringing all the above together.
In this section the Panelists will share broader learning on what makes innovations work and the key pitfalls
to avoid.
