Chennai: Trivitron has set up a medical technology park in Chennai to manufacture an indigenous line of products designed specifically for Indian markets, reports Zee News. Speaking at the inauguration of South Asia's first medical technology park at Sriperumbudur near Chennai on Monday, M. K. Stalin, the Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu said, "The setting up of the park at Chennai is in line with the government of Tamil Nadu's initiative of promoting Chennai as a manufacturing hub. Chennai has also been chosen in view of its reputation as a medical tourism hotspot." Its healthcare infrastructure, which includes among other things the clinical expertise on offer, has often come in for praise. It has the added advantage of having an eastern seaport and a well-established airport." Spread over 25 acres and designed to house 10 international medical technology manufacturers, the Trivitron Medical Technologies Park is an initiative of Trivitron Healthcare Private, one of the leading medical technology companies in India. The park aims to bring cutting edge medical technology to medical professionals across the country at affordable costs. A range of products including Ultrasound systems, Colour Dopplers, X - ray machines, C-arms, in-vitro diagnostic reagents and instruments, cardiology diagnostic instruments, critical care instruments, modular operating theatres, operating theatre lights and tables and implantable medical devices will be manufactured at the park. It is expected that the manufacture of world-class medical devices within the country will bring down the overall healthcare costs dramatically.
