Exclusive Vertical in CDSCO Will Check ‘Garage Manufacturing’: MTaI

Mumbai,  2019: Medical Technology Association of India (MTaI), which represents leading research-based medical technology companies having a large footprint in manufacturing, R&D and healthcare training in India, today said that creation of a separate vertical in Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) exclusively to govern medical devices will check ‘garage manufacturing’.
“Capacity building is always a good initiative and has been long overdue. Regulators should build capacity and capability to prevent inferior products from entering the market which was happening through a large number of unregistered garage manufacturing in India, particularly in orthopedic industry. Global innovators are not just operating in India but in several developed countries across the globe and they follow global regulation and are accountable; these globally accepted standards of quality are also complied by several domestic manufacturers, which make exports from India acceptable in global markets. A separate vertical in CDSCO, as proposed by DTAB, will curb the menace of unregulated garage manufacturing,” said Mr. Kaustav Banerjee, Director, MTaI.
The Drugs Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) has proposed creation of a vertical in CDSCO specifically for medical devices to enable the latter regulate all medical devices sold in the country in phases. As per the proposal, CDSCO will hire 754 officers for the vertical.
MTaI Chairman and Director General Mr. Pavan Choudary said: “The proposal of DTAB to have a separate vertical in terms of manpower and infrastructure in CDSCO for medical devices is welcome. It is reflective of the understanding that new categories of skill-set are required to regulate this sector. The fact that this vertical will be under the CDSCO, sensitively uses the umbrella of the body which has the maximum expertise and experience in governing the medical device universe. As new devices are coming under regulation in line with government’s objective of ensuring patient safety, it will be great if the recruitment begins soon so that this additional workload is efficiently handled”.

by samikha   Mumbai, May, 2024: The scion of Lord Shri Ram's lineage, Darwin Platform Group of Companies (DGPC) Founder and Chairman Ajay Harinath Singh has found himself targeted by unseen forces with vested interests. Retaliating to these ‘unseen forces’ the Darwin Platform Chief emphasized that life threats and malicious campaigns, resulting from political vendetta make him more determined to fight the battle and expose them.  The whispers of a conspiracy began years ago, fueled by jealousy and fear of his growing influence in the 2000s. Coming from a Royal family of Sultanpur (Uttar Pradesh), his popularity in the state and Maharashtra unnerved many political parties that used to govern. Aligned with sacred lineage, his passion for nation-building and Hindutva made him popular among people and the BJP, however, this antagonized Congress and their current allies. Questions are many- Was the Congress party, in its bid to maintain its hold on power, orchestrating a campaign t...
