Affordable healthcare requires innovation along with localization of medical technology. This bring the changes in healthcare sector of India .
This is a great step towards affordability, but access is also about distribution and awareness. Even if it’s a low-cost technology, it won’t help if it doesn’t reach smaller centres.
Yes, Make in India is a good innovative step towards health care disparities. In India healthcare is not easily accessible due to high cost, development of indigenous medical equipment like MRI would help in overcoming high cost and also helps in easy accessibility to diagnostic tests.
It can be revolutionary but only if shows exceptional and excellent results. Because when patient health is on the line even “Make in India” or 50% reduced costs won’t mean anything if the results are not promising.
This is great step forward. Indigenous development in India can bring affordable and accessible health care services this will be more impactful when these services are utilized by people from tier 3 cities and more villages.
Execution of “make in India” healthcare services with proper support, training and maintenance will decide how truly it touch life of people, with sustenance playing a major role in this.
Local manufacting of medical equipments can make healthcare more affordable and accesible. It reduces our dependance on imports and strengthens innovation in India which will lead to a better and cost effective patient care
It is a strong step towards affordable diagnostics but as healthcare disparity is reduced I feel it also needs enhanced infrastructure, trained professionals and fair distribution of services in both rural and urban settings.
Easier repair and availability of spare parts within India , encourages startup in the med-tech sector ,public private partnership can accelerate innovation
Yes make in India can reduce the cost and make it more affordable to middle class people who generally use to quit their treatment cause of expensive charges.
Yes, ‘Make in India’ is one of the solution and it will be very helpful for the low income families. But that is just not enough to make health services accessible to all, like these MRI’s should reach those low income families and also be accessible to all.
I believe in interdisciplinary interactions, when people from different field come together to solve a problem, and simplify the already existing complex processes it leads to a better and innovative outcome. This development of MRI machines will not only help in better approach to diagnostics, but also give rise to employments as well. The products of India pave way for us to get better insights on medical science, and help us improve our approach toward medical research.
No, it’s not a solution, but it helps India in multiple ways nevertheless. Most of the medical diagnostics revolve around tests that are not expensive anyways. MRI is literally the last diagnosis that a doctor recommends if he is not satisfied with CT scans.
Yes. Make in India will definitely help in reduction cost of healthcare facilities, and this will help numerous needy patients for better and affordable treatment facilities. This will help in improving patient safety and will give more better opportunities to enhance our healthcare system.
Yess, definitely it will create a difference in healthcare in India, if it’s ‘make in india’ by lowering the cost of the MRI , which is essential diagnostic tool in many major cases
Yes, make in India in healthcare sector beneficial to people. Currently in India more than 80% of MRI equipment are imported.which is making MRI diagnosis very expensive.by using indigenous MRI equipment can lower the diagnosis costs
Make in India can significantly reduce healthcare costs by promoting indigenous production of medical equipment like MRI machines. This improves accessibility and affordability, especially in rural areas. However, infrastructure, and policy implementation to effectively bridge healthcare disparities across different regions of India.
Make in India improves afffordability and access, but alone it cannot fully solve healthcare disparties.
Yes this initiatives like Make in India can actually reduce the cost of healthcare by providing affordable technologies such as indigenous MRI at AIIMS Delhi. This will reduce the scan costs but the more improvements are needed in hospitals infrastructure and access are still needed.
Making healthcare affordable in India can begin at home by promoting low-cost, locally built medical equipment. Simple innovations like DIY monitoring devices and frugal engineering can reduce costs and improve access. Supporting local solutions empowers communities and strengthens primary healthcare delivery.
So, yes, Make in India is a powerful enabler, especially for diagnostics and medical devices. But healthcare disparity will only shrink when domestic innovation is matched by public investment, distribution, and affordability at scale.
A strong closing line could be:
“Innovation matters, but access is what turns innovation into equity.”
