Med in IsraelPromotion of Indo-Israel Cooperation in Health care and Diagnostic segment

Gearing up for Med In Israel 2015 being held during 23-26 March 2015 in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The health care and diagnostic segment in India is growing rapidly, creating a major potential market for importing medical equipment and medical devices in India. The medical technology sector is highly under-penetrated, contributing merely seven to eight per cent of the spending on health care, compared to 18 per cent on pharmaceuticals. The medical technology sector has the potential to touch $50 billion by 2025, if it gets ample government support and clarity, in terms of policy and regulation. Currently, India imports around 70 per cent of the medical devices used here.
