AIIMS to work with Osaka to set up medical device development centre
New Delhi: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi has collaborated with Osaka University in Japan to set up a medical device development centre in Haryana’s Jhajjar.
The new National Centre for Medical Device Development, Validation, and Skill Training, in line with the Centre’s ‘Make in India’ initiative will enable surgeons, physicians, and biomedical engineers in the country to conceptualise, design, develop, and test medical device prototypes.
The initiative between the countries is part of a decade-long partnership signed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the late Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe. AIIMS and Osaka University signed a Memorandum of Understanding in October 2014, to develop novel and affordable surgical instruments.
