"Keeping global supply chains intact is important in India"- Abby Pratt

"Global medical technology manufacturers, represented in India by the Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed), are working 24/7, adding shifts and production lines, to provide urgently needed, high-quality medical products to detect, prevent and treat COVID-19. The medtech industry is committed to supporting and working with India’s government throughout the coronavirus-related shutdown to prevent any disruption in global supply chains for urgently needed medical products – including diagnostic tests, protective gear and other critical medical equipment – which will be so essential to ending this pandemic. Keeping global supply chains intact and strong will be especially important in India, which relies on imports for over 80 percent of medtech used for intensive care.”
