Keralam to support new medical device parks, fast-track approvals, says CM V.D. Satheesan

The State government will extend full support for setting up new medical device parks and enterprises as the sector holds immense growth potential for the State, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan said.

Inaugurating the Kerala Medical Device Industry Association (KMDIA) here on Wednesday, the Chief Minister said that Keralam had already demonstrated its capabilities in medical device manufacturing, with firms matching international standards operating from the State. The next step should be to expand this strength into new areas and develop products capable of reaching global markets.

The government was prepared to facilitate new ventures and support the establishment of medical device parks in different parts of the State. The KMDIA would enable companies to collectively pursue new ideas, technologies and opportunities.
