Concerns Surrounding the Import of Refurbished Medical Equipment

Concerns over importing refurbished medical appliances have been significantly raised by Indian manufacturers. The new government policy allowing the entry of pre-owned medical equipment into the domestic market has sparked controversy.

Impact on Domestic Production

• The import of refurbished medical appliances could threaten local production
• Manufacturers argue that it undermines their efforts to boost factory output
• Quality control remains a major concern among industry players

With the growing prevalence of refurbished medical equipment, regulatory frameworks must adapt to ensure that imported products maintain high standards. This situation calls for a re-evaluation of health policies that govern medical equipment imports.
