hormonal changes lead-
ing to uterine inner lin-
ing and the muscle layer
problems.Medical Technology Association
of India, which represents leading
research-based medical technol-
ogy companies with significant
investments in manufacturing and
healthcare worker training in India,
has suggested the Government
should allow a one-time increase
of upto 18% in MRPs of medical
devices, including stents and or-
thopaedic knee implants, as rupee
depreciation and inflation have
raised their cost to companies.
Rupee has depreciated 13.13%
against the US dollar and 12.33%
against Euro in last one year.
Wholesale price inflation has hov-
ered between 4% and 5% duringthis period. The current regula-
tory framework in India mandates
price ceiling for scheduled devices
like stents and orthopaedic knee
implants and allows only upto 10%
increase in Maximum Retail Prices
(MRPs) of regulated non-sched-
uled devices like catheters, heart
valves, etc.Onco Life Cancer Center gets NABH accreditation
