Aakash Healthcare already walks Talk of Atmanirbhar Bharat with ‘#Swadeshi’ Knee Implants
New Delhi: In Healthcare, Atmanibhar Bharat is a fait accompli. Indian Healthcare industry is well oiled to do the walking on PM Modi speech. Aakash Healthcare is already walking the talk with the use of Made in India knee implants. HMD (Hindustan Syringes and Medical Devices Ltd) with its armamentarium of syringes, needles, cannula needle points, capillary tubing, Insulin pen needles, anaesthetic DispoVan Dental needles is a world leader. Indian International Inc SS Innovations’s Made in India best in class surgical robot SSI Mantra is a trail blazer making global milestones.
SMT making world class stents and high end structural heart devices like TAVI is giving its overseas multinational counterparts run for their money. AMTZ (Andhra Pradesh Medical Technology Zone) has already made India global hub of medtech by making world class medical devices from Mask to MRI. Make in India Hospitals coming up under aegis of AMTZ , world’s largest medtech cluster, all set to become monuments of PM’s talk of Atmanirbhar Bharat. That these hospitals will use only made in India medical devices speak a volume about India’s resolve for self reliance.
PM call for Atmanibhar Bharat struck an instant chord in Aakash Healthcare. Dr Aashish Chaudhry, MD, Aakash Healthcare and a top notch knee replacement surgeon, made no bones about using made in India knee implants saying, ‘ We proudly use Indian made knee implants at Aakash Healthcare, a testament that quality care and #Swadeshi can go hand in hand.’
Dr Chaudhry added, ‘ PM Modi’s vision is especially relevant in Healthcare. For decades, we depended heavily on imported medical devices and technologies. But today, Indian innovation is creating safe, effective, and affordable solutions. Swadeshi knee implants used in Aakash Healthcare amply prove it. If India can heal its own people with indigenous excellence, it can also become the “Vishwa Chikitsalya,” or the world’s hospital. Healthcare must be a pillar of the #AtmanirbharBharat movement, rooted in Indian research, Indian manufacturing, and Indian trust. When we strengthen our medical self-reliance, we not only save costs but also make healthcare more accessible, equitable, and sustainable for millions.’
SMT ( Sahajanand Medical Technologies), a standard bearer of Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat and Swadeshi is already a world leader in making best in class cardiac stents and other high end structural heart devices. Its SupraflexCruz stent, not long ago, won a battle of quality in Europe by edging out its MNC competitors resorting to machinations to frustrate SMT’s global rally. Bhargav Kotadia, Managing Director &CEO SMT said, ‘ Atmanirbhar Bharat and Swadeshi have always been SMT’s core principles. PM’s call has always echoed in SMT’s ecosystem. Despite price cap in India, our top notch stent Supraflex cruz held the fort and continued its global conquests. We are world leaders in our medical devices.’
Best in class Made in India ‘Swedeshi’ surgical robot SSIMantra is a kind of success story that leaves little doubt about India’s immense capability for becoming Atmanirbhar in medtech domain. This made in India surgical robot for the world is a singular trophy of India’s talent dazzling global medtech giants by its presence on NASDAQ. Its robotic surgery accomplishments are beyond compare in the world.
Commenting upon PM Modi’s call for Atmanirbhar Bharat and Swadeshi, Dr Sudhir Srivastava, one of the greatest global cardiac robotic surgeons and maker of SSI Mantra said, ‘ PM Modi can repose his trust in India’s huge talent for MIGA ( Make India Great Again). His call for Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat and Swadeshi was what inspired me to shift to India from USA. And SSIMantra is a trophy created by vastly talented Indian engineers PM Modi can flaunt with self assurance of self reliance. PM Modi’s claim of being Vishwaguru is spot on provided his government protects India’s efforts to become Atmanirbhar from agents for foreign hands.’
Rajiv Nath, Mg Director, Hindustan Syringes & Medical Devices Ltd and biggest champion of Make in India in medtech domain, said, ‘We are highly motivated by PM Modi jis speech where he’s urged manufacturers to aim to make Bharat Atmanirbhar. At Hindustan Syringes & Medical Devices we share his vision and thoughts for a simplified tax regime and strive to make India Atmanirbhar- by not only making our own syringes and needles but also grinding the cannula needle points and even making the fine cappillary tubing in house – this evidence of Atmanirbharta was proven in CoviD times where we had lived up to our assurance to him of no Syringes shortages for vaccination and not only did we serve India but globally by supplying over 2 Billion AD syringes for vaccination- one of every seven Covid vaccines given globally from Japan in Far East to Brazil in distant South West used our Syringes.
