“SMTA is a joint signatory to the plea seeking a separate Medical Devices Act. We have consistently opposed the inclusion of medical devices under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and had challenged the 2020 notification, including before the Supreme Court. Medical devices are engineering products and require a distinct, risk-based regulatory framework, not a pharmaceutical regulatory approach.
The present Bill was an opportunity to correct this anomaly, but retaining medical devices within the same overarching law, even with a separate wing, continues to create complex and onerous compliance requirements. This is particularly burdensome for India’s micro and small medical-device enterprises and could ultimately hurt competition, innovation and increase healthcare costs. We therefore urge the Government to delink medical devices from drugs and establish a separate Act with an independent regulator,” said **Puneet Bhasin, President, Surgical Manufacturers & Traders Association (SMTA)**.

Do we need any Drug licence/form 41 or any other compliance for this Medical store/Clinic/Health centre but you need one to sell authentic Medical Devices
@MiIAiMeD@narendramodi@PMOIndia@MoHFW_INDIA Shocking state of affairs day 5 now and we have to shut shop as no licenses given to majority of medical equipment manufacturer for Class C&D Medical Devices. Applications and audits completed months back... this is not how we are going to get to $50Bn
@MiIAiMeD@narendramodi@mansukhmandviya@MoHFW_INDIA
Humble request for extension of the deadline for obtaining manufacturing license for Class C & D medical devices. Supply Disruption and shortage anticipated. Hope for quick redressal under your kind leadership.
@MiIAiMeD@mansukhmandviya@makeinindia These were the companies and people who saved thousands of lives during national crises and much before . My people did not take a single day off during covid thinking many lives can be saved . Now it’s your turn to support @mansukhmandviya .
@MiIAiMeD@narendramodi@PMOIndia@MoHFW_INDIA The government must appreciate that the healthcare sector is no place for a surgical strike. The regulations, must be matured through a through stakeholder consultation and then implemented only after education. The steps are Engineering, Education and Enforcement.
