Union Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Jitendra Singh, stated that India is emerging as a robust pharmaceutical economy. Addressing a gathering at the Healthcare Summit organized by an English media house in New Delhi today, Mr. Singh said that India's healthcare and medtech ecosystem is undergoing a major transformation, with a strong focus on global quality benchmarks, indigenous innovation, and the integration of research with industry.
Mr. Singh further stated that over the past decade, India has witnessed a remarkable transformation in healthcare, moving from a largely import-dependent system to one driven by indigenous capabilities.
The Minister also mentioned that initiatives like Anusandhan, the National Research Foundation, and the Maha MedTech Mission are strengthening the research ecosystem by connecting laboratories with clinical applications. He said that India aims to become one of the top global manufacturing hubs in this sector, reducing import dependence while boosting exports.
