MTaI unveils India’s historic $464 mn MedTech FDI leap

Leave a comment

India has witnessed a record-breaking surge of $464 million in foreign investments in MedTech in the first 3 quarters, the Medical Technology Association of India (MTaI), which represents leading research-based medical technology companies with a large footprint in manufacturing and training in India, today said. Chairman of MTaI Pavan Choudary highlighted the pivotal role of foreign investments in India, emphasizing the potential to catalyze medical tourism, generate employment opportunities, and fortify the nation’s economic landscape.

Elaborating on the record FDI in MedTech, Choudary, said, “The MedTech sector has seen a significant increase in FDI, already clocking $464 million in the first three quarters of 2023. This shows the high potential of this sector and global investors’ recognition of the same. The government’s focus on increasing the ease of doing business in the country, the creation of a globally harmonized regulatory regime for the medical device sector, and initiatives like the National Medical Device Policy (NMDP) 2023 and PRIP scheme have been welcomed by the industry as reflected by the growing confidence of investors. Notably, this surge also indicates a shift in global dynamics, with Western nations, including Japan, increasingly favouring India as their preferred destination for friend-shoring activities.”

“MTaI member companies supply nearly 80% of the critical care medical devices and account for 70% of the overall medical device market share. Through its members’ investments in manufacturing, R&D and Healthcare worker training it has served the Indian patient while at the same time creating most of the market that exists in the country today. MTaI members are also responsible for bringing a large portion of the investment in this sector through FDI. MTaI had rightly estimated this upward FDI trend in 2022 and we believe MedTech has the potential to bring in even more investments in the coming years if some of the pending hurdles like pricing instability, multiplicity of authorities governing the sector, and high tariff rates are addressed by the government,” Choudary added.

The MedTech FDIinflow for the first quarter of this year (Jan-March 2023) was around $39 million which rose to $301 million in the second quarter (April-June 2023). For the third quarter (July- September 2023), the figures were $124 million with a cumulative total inflow of $464 million for the period of January-September 2023.

Overcoming Laryngectomy: Regaining Voice and Leading a Normal Life

Leave a comment

Laryngectomy survivors can lead fulfilling lives. Thanks to modern rehabilitation techniques and a positive outlook. This was the message from experts and survivors at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre’s (RGCIRC) recent patient programme held at Rohini in the national capital.

Dr Mudit Agarwal, head of Head and Neck oncology at RGCIRC, explains that while Laryngectomy effectively removes advanced laryngeal cancer, it comes with side effects with losing natural speech and requiring a tracheostomy. But he assures successful rehabilitation of patients stating, “We rehabilitate patients through voice prostheses, electrolarynx and esophageal speech techniques, allowing them to regain communication and improve their quality of life. “

Dr Vijay Agarwal, Speech Therapy Consultant, further emphasizes the benefits of speech rehabilitation. “It takes a bit of time, but patients start communicating again within months. The tone and pitch may be slightly different,” explained Agarwal.

Dr Harsha Agarwal, head, Psycho Oncology, RGCIRC underscored the crucial role of a positive attitude in the recovery process. She cited the examples of Laryngectomy patients who are leading normal lives, emphasizing the importance of self-belief and continuous striving. She also highlighted the significant role of family and caretakers in providing support and encouragement.

Dr Navneet Singh, head Physiotherapist at RGCIRC emphasized the importance of physiotherapy in helping Laryngectomy patients regain neck and shoulder function, allowing them to return to their daily activities.
Stories of Hope and Resilience from Survivors

The survivor’s gathering brought together numerous warriors who shared inspiring stories from their journeys.

One of the survivors, Sunil Sharma said, “I am leading very similar to anyone present here. The initial couple of months were a bit challenging, but now I am performing all the activities that I was doing prior to surgery. The only difference is that I am not able to play football as I used to do earlier.”

Another survivor Neeraj Shroff, too, echoed similar sentiments. “I have a business to run, but immediately after the successful surgery, my body was not allowing me to work for more than four to five hours. It is only after four-five months that I regained my stamina and today I am working 10-12 hours a day or even more depending upon the need.”

Also, present on this occasion Jaikishan Soni narrated his experience saying, “There is no difference in the quality of life I used to lead earlier and now. A lot of credit goes to my family, particularly my wife. Initially, taking a bath was a bit of a problem, but not anymore. The key to recovery is ‘being positive’ and life returns to normal.”

The stories of these survivors serve as an inspiration to others facing Laryngectomy. The patient program became a platform for hope, marking a new chapter of their lives with boundless opportunities.

They demonstrate that with the help of modern techniques, support from healthcare professionals and loved ones, and a positive attitude, a fulfilling and normal life is possible post-surgery.
