Hitech Smart Cities

Hitech smart cities will serve as the heart of investments in healthcare sectors by various multinational companies

investments in field of medicine are majorly by 3 modes :1. Pharmocological 2. Direct investments in devices 3. Importing of medical devices Accessing India’s medical devices industry through an indirect

route remains attractive to foreign firms. India is heavily reliant on foreign imports:  70 percent of its medical devices and equipment are outsourced from other countries, particularly from the U.S.

India – a key player in the global pharmaceuticals industry, of which medical devices used to be covered – is underperforming

There are a number of other problems that deter foreign investors from manufacturing in India.

High tax rates imposed on domestic manufacturers have made investment unappealing to some indian and foreign companies,

amount of tax on imported medical goods causes the cost biomedical devices and equipments to rise many folds..

Expensive machinery like..CT scnners, MRI’s, Robotic’s … could be helped with government aided investments.

HOW GOVT CAN BE HELPFUL

LAND AVAILABILITY …..

TAX REBATES and SUBSIDIES ….

LOW INTEREST RATES… by the bankers for MEDICAL EQUIPMENTS

REDUCTION OF CUSTOM AND EXCISE DUTIES ON MEDICAL EQUIPMENTS and DEVICES …

TeleHeath sector

Bring personal patient records, images together for multi oragnaization sharing and expert consultations

Advances in communication technology and medical technology, such as wearable self-monitoring devices and digitized medical scans, have propelled the industry forward.

In the coming years, the industry will continue to benefit from the demographic and structural factors affecting the healthcare industry, as tele health will emerge as a cost-effective solution to meeting the medical needs of an expanding and aging population

Teleconferencing and opinions from various consultants at the same time and sharing of digital images will pave a way for faster and more cost effective remote medical consultations

Webinars – to project better and new developments among the collegues placed at distant places,

Hi – Tech Equipped medical centres

Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery — procedures performed through tiny incisions.
